Washingtoner/10306609

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Washingtoner -- A growing grassroots coalition is shaking up the conversation on election security and transparency in West Virginia. Citizens for West Virginia Election Integrity (C4WVEI) is already making a significant impact on policy, process, and public awareness.

Made up entirely of concerned West Virginian citizen volunteers from across the state, C4WVEI includes professionals in cybersecurity, IT, law, election administration, legislation, communications, and former election clerks—alongside sitting members of the House and Senate. Their unified goal? To secure the sanctity of West Virginia's elections and restore public confidence in the process.

A Movement That's Delivering Results

Since its founding in late 2023, C4WVEI has transformed civic concern into measurable legislative and operational wins:

🗳️ Legislative Influence

• Facilitated the establishment of the West Virginia Election Integrity Caucus in August 2024
• Reviewed every election-related bill in the 2025 legislative session
• Endorsed 27 bills and opposed 2 bills
• 8 endorsed bills passed both chambers, including a ban on Ranked Choice Voting and a requirement for Photo ID at the polls

Next Steps: A Call for Civic Partnership

C4WVEI isn't slowing down. Upcoming efforts include:

• Collaborating with local and state officials and volunteer citizens to clean up voter rolls by importing a new website operational in several states, Check My Vote

• Continuing engagement with county clerks on vulnerabilities and best practices
• Supporting legislation aligned with election transparency, and opposing anything that threatens it; legislative targets are registration, transparent & decentralized tabulation, and comprehensive auditing of the voting results
