LWVWV Testimony in Opposition to HB 2400
The League of Women Voters of West Virginia and the U.S. supports voting rights and opposes all forms of voter suppression. For this reason, we OPPOSE HB 2400, which restricts access to absentee ballot applications.

Advocacy Organizations Speak on the Importance of Public Hearings in the WV Legislative Process
House rules must ensure that the public can be heard on any given bill.

We join our partners and allies in calling on the House to preserve public hearings and ensure that the committee process guarantees public input.
