West Virginia Code Chapter 13. Public Bonded Indebtedness § 13-1-7. When election to be held

Elections for the purpose of voting upon questions of issuing bonds may be held at any general or primary election which the fiscal body in its order submitting the same to a vote may designate, except that, when a petition is filed asking that bonds be issued, the fiscal body with which the same is filed, shall order a special election and the election shall be held concurrently at the next regularly scheduled general or primary election.

In the event that a majority of the votes cast upon a question submitted pursuant to this section at any primary election be against the question, the question may again be submitted to the voters at the next succeeding general election.
