W. Va. Code R. § 153-8-3 - Measurement of Restricted Areas

3.1. Where the West Virginia Code establishes the distance in which electioneering is prohibited on election day or during the period in which early voting is offered during the hours while such early voting is actually taking place, that distance shall be measured from the outside entrance door(s) of the building containing the election room. The outside entrance door(s) shall be the outside door(s) beside which the flags and placards designating the precinct numbers are placed.

3.1.1. In the event that there are multiple entrances to the building containing the election room, the measurement provided in this subsection shall be made from each outside entrance. Provided, That for multiple entrances to the building containing the election room which are available for voters to enter the voting place for the purpose of voting, each outside entrance must be appropriately marked with the requisite flags and placards designating the precinct number. An outside entrance that is not appropriately marked with the requisite flags and placards designating the precinct number shall not be considered an outside entrance for purposes of the measurement of restricted areas and shall not be used for voters to enter the voting place.

3.2. The officers of election shall, prior to the opening of the polls, measure from the outside door(s) of the building housing the voting place along access walkways and/or roadways to determine the one hundred foot (100') distance and shall clearly mark the boundary of the restricted area(s) in at least two (2) places.
