West Virginia HB5127 mandates electronic transmission of election results to the Secretary of State.

West Virginia HB5127 requires boards of canvassers to electronically transmit total ballots cast, counted, and rejected to the Secretary of State. This electronic transmission must occur within 48 hours of the final county board's public declaration of election results. The bill also outlines procedures for recounts, including the timeframe for demanding a recount and the handling of sealed ballot packages. Failure to comply with the electronic transmission requirement results in a $20 forfeiture.
