West Virginia voters will decide on November 3, 2026, whether to ratify a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would explicitly limit voting in all state and local elections to U.S. citizens who are also state citizens. The measure, advanced unanimously by the Republican-controlled legislature as Senate Joint Resolution 9 during the 2026 session, addresses a gap between existing statutory prohibitions on noncitizen voting and the current constitution’s reference only to “citizens of the state.” Secretary of State Kris Warner has reported no documented instances of noncitizen participation on voter rolls. With no organized opposition and parallels to similar citizen-voting measures on ballots elsewhere, trader pricing reflects expectations of straightforward passage at the general election.
