WV SB976

Counties with electronic poll books may opt to use countywide voting centers on election day, allowing registered voters to cast ballots at any designated voting center in the county rather than a precinct-specific polling place

County commissions must adopt the voting center option at a public meeting and publish voting center locations at least 30 days before the election in a countywide newspaper and on the county website

For the first election using voting centers, county clerks must mail postcard notices to all registered voters at least 60 days before the election identifying all voting center locations

Voting centers must be geographically distributed throughout the county based on registered voters, population density, transportation access, and historic turnout patterns, and must comply with ADA accessibility requirements

Electronic poll books must update voter records in real time to prevent duplicate voting, and early voting locations may be designated as voting centers on election day
