19100071DBe it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. § 1. Not later than the November general election
in [ 2019 2020 ] , each county, city, and town
shall review the assignment of voters within its jurisdiction to ensure that
voters are assigned to the correct districts. The electoral board and general
registrar of each county, city, or town shall conduct this review by comparing
the information in the voter registration system with the boundaries of the
districts and precincts set out in a Geographic Information System (GIS) map of
the locality and shall make corrections to incorrect assignments as necessary.
The State Board of Elections, through the Department of Elections, shall
provide GIS maps to every electoral board and general registrar and, upon the
request of the electoral board and general registrar, assistance in conducting
this review. If a locality is in possession of its own GIS map, such map may be
used for the review.
After the conclusion of the review and after making any
necessary corrections, the counties, cities, and towns shall submit to the State
Board of Elections the results of the review and any corrections to voter
assignments that were made. On or before the first day of the [ 2020
2021 ] Session of the General Assembly, the State Board of Elections
shall submit to the General Assembly a report on the results of the reviews and
the corrections to voter assignments that were made.
[2. That the provisions of this act shall not become effective unless an appropriation effectuating the purposes of this act is included in a general appropriation act passed in 2019 by the General Assembly that becomes law. ]
