West Virginia HB5639 details the process for filling vacancies in district and gender-designated seats during elections or when vacancies occur. The bill specifies that in state senatorial districts with two or more counties, no more than two elected committee members can be residents of the same county.

Vacancies are filled by the state executive committee, and county commissions create executive committee districts.
