Intr Text

West Virginia SB191 requires a petition of qualified voters to reconsider a once defeated charter amendment.

West Virginia SB191 amends the Code of West Virginia to mandate that a petition of qualified voters is necessary for a once defeated charter amendment to be reconsidered. If a majority of legal votes cast at the election are against any proposed amendment, that amendment cannot be proposed again without a petition from qualified voters for at least one year. This process ensures that amendments are reconsidered only with sufficient public support.
