HB5220

Clarifies who can be present in a polling place during an election for non-voting activities.

This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to clarify who can be present in a polling place during an election period for non-voting activities. It specifies that only election officers, voters, and those assisting blind voters or accompanying a voting parent, grandparent, or legal guardian are allowed within 100 feet of the polling place entrance. It also allows vehicles delivering voters to remain within 100 feet until the voter is transported away. The bill aims to maintain order by limiting the number of people in the election room and restricting proximity to voting booths.
