West Virginia SB1007 allows eligible overseas voters to participate in state and federal elections by mail.

West Virginia SB1007 amends the state's election laws to allow eligible overseas voters to cast absentee ballots by mail. This includes citizens who were previously registered in West Virginia and now reside abroad, as well as those who were eligible to register but did not meet residency requirements before leaving the state. The bill specifies that these voters must not be registered elsewhere in the U.S. and must hold valid proof of citizenship. It also outlines various circumstances under which other voters, such as those with disabilities or first responders, can vote absentee.
