SB 154 Absentee ballot applications.

Introduced by: Edward L. Schrock | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Absentee ballot applications. Requires the State Board of Elections to implement a system, beginning with the general election in November 1999, which enables persons to request, receive, and file absentee ballot applications electronically through the Internet. The bill also ensures that false statements made electronically are punishable the same as any other false statement made in connection with Virginia's election laws (as the crime of election fraud, a Class 5 felony). In a second enactment clause, the Board is requested to study the implementation of a system for registering voters and voting ballots (including absentee ballots) electronically through the Internet and report its findings and recommendations to the Governor and the 1999 Session of the General Assembly. The bill is a recommendation of the Joint Commission on Technology and Science.
