SUMMARY:
Constitutional amendment (second resolution); qualifications of voters; overseas employees. Authorizes the General Assembly to provide by law that overseas employees, their spouses and dependents living with them, otherwise qualified to vote in the Commonwealth, may continue to vote in the Commonwealth although they relinquish their Virginia place of abode while overseas. The Constitution's definition of residence for purposes of voter qualification now requires both domicile and "a place of abode."
