West Virginia voters will decide Amendment 1 on November 3, 2026, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would explicitly limit voting to U.S. citizens who are also state residents. The measure advanced through the Republican-controlled legislature with near-unanimous support, including 97-0 in the House and unanimous Senate passage during the 2026 session. State law already bars noncitizens from voting, but the constitution currently lacks this explicit language, prompting lawmakers to seek the added protection against future changes. Secretary of State Kris Warner has reported no evidence of noncitizen voting on rolls, and the measure faces minimal organized opposition in the heavily Republican state. Traders appear to view passage as highly likely given the bipartisan legislative consensus, low salience of counterarguments, and historical voter support for similar citizenship requirements in comparable states.
