City of Morgantown Responds to Camping Ban Referendum Petition

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The city clerk of Morgantown has certified that the petition submitted for a referendum on the recent camping ban ordinance is insufficient, as it did not include the required number of valid signatures from at least 10 percent of the total number of qualified voters registered during the last regular city election.

The City of Morgantown will continue to work with the petitioners as they continue to follow the filing process, ensuring adherence to established requirements for referendum as adopted by the Morgantown municipal charter.

The City of Morgantown will provide more information as it becomes available.
