Clarifies process for filling vacancies in West Virginia state Legislature.

The bill outlines the process for filling vacancies in the West Virginia state Legislature. It mandates that the Governor appoints a replacement from a list of three candidates selected by the political party committee. If there are more than three candidates, interviews can be conducted virtually. The bill also specifies that if a district is entirely within a county, the county party chairman appoints a subcommittee to act as the vacancy committee. The process ensures a timely and orderly selection of qualified candidates to fill legislative vacancies.
