HB 1036 Absentee ballots and voting; obsolete provisions.

Introduced by: Flora Davis Crittenden | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Absentee voting; obsolete provisions. Removes obsolete, conflicting and confusing provisions that were needed to distinguish between overseas voters registering in absentia and other voters prior to the advent of mail registration. Currently, any Virginia resident who is overseas can register by mail. Other cleanup revisions include (i) extending the voter identification requirement to voters who vote absentee in person, (ii) requiring overseas applicants to provide information on the date of last residence in Virginia, (iii) extending to all members of the electoral board the authority currently held by the secretary of the board to receive absentee ballots, and (iv) allowing the pre-election day notation of absentee voters on the voter registration list for verification by the officers of election. This bill has been incorporated into HB 640.
