Purpose of legislation
Acts of Assembly Chapter 785 from the 2023 General Assembly Session removes the witness signature
requirement for absentee ballots and applications as well as the witness signature requirement for
Federal write-in absentee ballots and applications. The bill replaces it with the voter’s year of birth and the
last four digits of their social security number or a unique identifier, if the voter was never issued one. As a result of these changes, 1VAC20-45-40 and 1VAC20-70-20 of Virginia Administrative Code, will need to be amended to be in compliance with these amendments. 1VAC20-70-80 of Virginia Administrative Code will have to be repealed, in order to be in compliance with these changes to the Code of Virginia.
