Introduced by: Kevin G. Miller | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Elections; procedures at the polls; voter identification. Adds a requirement that the voter present a form of identification when he offers to vote at the polls. The required identification may be any one of the following: his Commonwealth of Virginia voter registration card, his social security card, or any pre-printed form of identification which shows his name and address, name and signature, or name and photograph. If a voter cannot present identification, he may still vote if he signs a statement, subject to felony penalties, that he is the named registered voter he claims to be. Under present law, this voter identification requirement applies only to certain first-time voters who have registered by mail and in certain challenged vote situations.
