An amendment to West Virginia’s constitution to prohibit physician-assisted suicide — already illegal in the state — managed to squeak through after Tuesday’s election with just enough votes, though the vote was a statistical tie. According to unofficial election results posted by the West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office, Amendment 1 passed, with 335,822 votes (50.5%) for and 329,742 against (49.5%) — a difference of 6,080 votes. The West Virginia Legislature adopted House Joint Resolution 28 during the 2024 regular session earlier this year. The joint resolution placed on the November general election ballot a proposed state constitutional amendment that would ban medically-assisted suicide and/or euthanasia.
