House Bill Calls For May Gubernatorial Primary
WEST VIRGINIA....
House Bill 2552 introduced in the West Virginia House of Delegates Wednesday by Minority Leader Tim Armstead, R-Kanawha, calls for a special gubernatorial primary election May 14th and a special general election August 6th. The state Supreme Court of Appeals ruled that a general election be conducted before November 15th, which will be the one-year anniversary of Acting Govrtnor Earl Ray Tomblin assuming the office. In the ruling, nominees would be selected by political party conventions. The court, however, ruled that the Legislature could change the process, which includes conducting a primary election.
