Senate passes bill to align municipal election dates with statewide dates
MORGANTOWN – The Senate bill to align municipal election dates with statewide primary and general elections will be up for passage on Monday.
Senators adopted an amendment to tweak the bill’s compliance date for municipalities on Friday, moving it from July 1, 2030 to July 1, 2032.
The date change applies to municipalities with charters that have to be amended by the voters, and to municipalities without charters that can do it simply by ordinance.
Sen. Ryan Weld, R-Brooke, offered the amendment. He serves on Judiciary, which approved the bill and advanced it to the floor.
