GOVERNOR'S VETO

Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 1534, which relates to challenging a voter’s registration and a candidate's qualifications or eligibility.

This bill imposes stringent procedural hurdles for citizens seeking to raise objections to voter registrations and candidate eligibility, effectively limiting their ability to participate in the democratic process.

Accordingly, I veto the bill.
