West Virginia HB4691 mandates paper ballots and restricts absentee voting to specific groups.

West Virginia HB4691 amends the state's election laws to require all voting to be conducted using paper ballots.

The bill aims to ensure election integrity by standardizing the voting process and narrowing the conditions under which absentee voting is permitted.
