SB 660 Voter registration; registration of homebound voters.

Introduced by: Kevin G. Miller | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Voter registration; locations and times for registration; registration of homebound voters. Deletes the requirements for extra voter registration sites and times during the 40 days before the November election and for registering homebound voters by having the registrar go to the applicant's home. Recent changes in the registration laws to implement the National Voter Registration Act have eliminated Virginia's former requirement for "in-person" registration and have provided for registration by mail and at the Department of Motor Vehicles and other government agency offices. Homebound voters may now register by mail. The bill continues the present law's general authorization for the general registrar or electoral board to set additional sites and times for voter registration. The bill amends the provision for emergency absentee ballots solely to eliminate a cross-reference to the repealed provision on registering homebound voters.
