1. That § 24.2-105.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 24.2-105.1. Election and voter participation information on the Internet.
Beginning with the general
election in November 1998, the State Board The Department shall provide information for voters
on its website, including (i) the role of and contact information for the State
Board, the Department of Elections, local electoral boards, and general
registrars; (ii) how and where to register to vote; (iii) how and where to
vote, including information about absentee voting, polling hours, Virginia's
voter identification requirements and acceptable forms of identification, the
casting of ballots, and a means for voters to find their polling place; and
(iv) any laws, regulations, policies, or forms pertaining to any of the
information in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii). The website shall also allow a voter
to review any information about himself that is kept in the statewide voter
registration database.
The Department shall implement a system by which it shall
furnish lists of candidates for all elections in the Commonwealth, and
information on proposed constitutional amendments and statewide referenda
prepared pursuant to §§ 30-19.9 and 30-19.10, electronically through the
Internet. The Board
Department may list other referenda issues on the Internet.
The lists and information shall be made available on the Internet as far in
advance of the election as practicable and remain available on the Internet at
least until the day after the election.
The State Board Department shall provide
election results and statistical information on its website. The information
shall include voter turnout information which shall be calculated as the
percentage of active voters who voted excluding voters assigned to inactive
status pursuant to Chapter 4 (§ 24.2-400 et seq.). The information shall also
include the total number of registered voters and the number assigned to
inactive status.
At a minimum, the Department shall provide a version of its website in which all parts required by this section are translated into any language that is spoken by a language minority group covered under subsection A of § 24.2-128. Any page on the Department's website that is linked to a translated page shall also be translated. The Department shall review all translated portions of its website for accuracy and make appropriate updates prior to the start of early voting for every primary and general election held in Virginia.
