Aligns the election date for Intermediate Court of Appeals judges with general elections.

West Virginia HB4525 proposes to amend the Code of West Virginia to change the election date for judges of the Intermediate Court of Appeals. The bill seeks to hold these elections on the same date as the general election, aiming to increase voter participation. This change is based on the premise that general elections attract more eligible voters than primary elections. The elections will be nonpartisan, conducted on a ballot printed specifically for this purpose.
