WV HB5127

Requires county boards of canvassers to electronically transmit the total ballots cast, counted, and rejected to the Secretary of State on a prescribed form after publicly declaring election results for multi-county races

Applies specifically to candidates appearing on ballots in more than one county, where coordination between county boards and the Secretary of State is already required

Changes "shall not" to "may" regarding the 48-hour waiting period before certifying results for single-county candidates, providing flexibility in certification timing

Amends West Virginia Code §3-6-9, which governs the canvassing of election returns, declaration of results, and recount procedures
