S.B. 711

Patron: Edwards

Voter registration; duties of State Board of Elections and general registrars. Requires general registrars to conduct and complete within 30 days of the receipt of precinct lists from the State Board a cross-check of precinct list voters with voter registration data supplied by other states in the interstate cross-check system developed under current law by the State Board. The bill requires the State Board to grant an extension of up to 30 days to complete the cross-check if so requested by a general registrar within 48 hours of initial receipt of the precinct list. The bill requires the general registrars to, at a minimum, compare the Virginia Voter Registration System registration history and Virginia voting history of precinct list voters with the out-of-state registration data provided in the interstate cross-check system and prohibits the cancellation of a voter's registration within 90 days prior to a primary or general election solely on the basis of the interstate cross-check. The provisions of the bill are contingent on funding in a general appropriation act passed in 2015 by the General Assembly that becomes law.

A BILL to amend and reenact § 24.2-404 of the Code of Virginia, relating to elections; voter registration lists; duties of State Board of Elections and general registrars.

Patron: Vogel

Voter registration; cancellation of registration. Requires the general registrars to cancel the registration of any voter who is identified as registered in another state by an interstate matching program, notification by another state, or comparison by another agency of the list of another state or for whom the registrar receives a notice in accordance with the Driver License Compact that the voter has moved from the Commonwealth. The bill also allows a voter to cancel his registration by notifying the Department of Elections through electronic means of his request to have his name removed from the registration records. The bill further requires the Department of Elections to use commercial change-of-address data to identify voters who have moved.

A BILL to amend and reenact §§ 24.2-404, 24.2-427, and 24.2-428 of the Code of Virginia, relating to cancellation of voter registration.
