Introduced by: Robert G. Marshall | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Elections; voter integrity and identification provisions. Requires the following steps to emphasize integrity in the voting process: (i) posting notice of legally required voting qualifications and penalties for violations in at least two languages at all polling places; (ii) requiring proof of citizenship with registration applications; and (iii) requiring a copy of proof of identification be submitted for in-person and absentee voting. The bill provides that any person who is registered in Virginia as of January 1, 2013, is deemed to have provided satisfactory proof of citizenship and is not required to submit proof of citizenship; however, that privilege shall not be construed to affirm or deny whether such person is lawfully registered to vote in the Commonwealth. The act will take effect January 1, 2013.
