Removes barriers to voting for persons with disabilities in West Virginia.

West Virginia HB4547 aims to remove barriers to voting for persons with disabilities by allowing voters with blindness, disability, advanced age, or illiteracy to receive assistance in voting. It mandates that poll workers assisting voters must swear an oath that they will not influence the voter's choice. The bill also allows voters with disabilities to vote from an automobile outside the polling place if it is not handicap accessible.
