Plain-language change summary

The amendment changes the title of Senate Bill 624 and clarifies specific voter registration procedures in West Virginia. It specifies when voter registration will close before elections and allows for the cancellation of voter registration for individuals who have moved out of the state and obtained a driver's license elsewhere. This matters because it aims to ensure that only eligible voters are registered and that voter rolls are kept up to date, which can enhance the integrity of the election process.
