West Virginia SB1021 amends the Code of West Virginia to establish a limited-purpose ordinance procedure for municipal elections. It allows municipalities to amend their charters to align election dates with statewide primary or general elections. The bill also permits municipalities to stagger or change the terms of elected officers without a separate voter submission, provided the changes are approved by a majority of voters. The ordinance must be adopted by the governing body and published as a legal advertisement.
