Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 24.2-404.4 as follows:

§ 24.2-404.4. Exchange of registered voter lists with other states.

Pursuant to its authority under subsection A of § 24.2-405 and subsections B and C of § 24.2-406, the State Board shall request voter registration information and lists of persons voting at primaries and elections, if available, from the states bordering the Commonwealth to identify duplicate registrations, voters who no longer reside in the Commonwealth, and other persons who are no longer entitled to be registered in order to maintain the overall accuracy of the voter registration system. Upon receipt of this data, the State Board shall compare it with the state voter registration list and initiate list maintenance procedures under applicable state and federal law. The State Board shall report to the House and Senate Committees on Privileges and Elections annually on the progress of activities conducted under this section, including the number of duplicate registrations found to exist and the procedures that the State Board and general registrars are following to eliminate duplicate registrations from the Virginia registered voter lists.
