West Virginia HB5023 allows citizens to vote in municipal elections where they do not reside under certain conditions.

West Virginia HB5023 amends state law to permit a citizen of West Virginia to vote in a municipal election of a municipality where the citizen does not reside. This applies if the citizen lives in the county where the majority of the municipality is located and has paid a user fee, service fee, or similar charge imposed by the municipality on individuals working within the municipality during the year before the election. The bill also outlines requirements for nonresidents to vote, including registration and the presence of paper ballots for nonresidents.
