Amending 1 VAC 20-20-50
 

1 VAC 20-20-50, "Fee for nonattendance at annual training," imposes a nonattendance fee on people who (1) register to attend the annual training, and (2) do not show up at the training, if they did not cancel their attendance "within three business days of the event." It should be worded "no later than the third business day before the event." Current wording requires people to wait until the three-day window before the event, and I don't think that was the intent of the regulation.

Pertaining to 1 VAC 20-20-60
 

1 VAC 20-20-60, "Delegations to Secretary of State Board of Elections," requires Board staff to "post the list [of delegations of authority to the secretary detailed in the board's minutes of December 2, 2004, as amended September 14, 2010] to the Internet in order that additional delegations or other modifications may be proposed to the board by any interested person." I don't think this list is posted anywhere, at least not in a conspicuous place.

I suggest posting this list on the SBE's website so that it is conspicuous.

Amending 1 VAC 20-20-80
 

Suggested changes to 1 VAC 20-20-80, "Complaints":

  • In 1 VAC 20-20-80(B), change the word "required" to "allowed."
  • In the section labeled "Documents Incorporated by Reference," update the Virginia State Plan pertaining to the Help America Vote Act of 2002, to refer to the most recent Plan adopted by the State Board of Elections. I believe this was in 2012.
  • Are the Help American Vote Act of 2002 Performance Goals of June 19, 2006, still in effect, or have they been superseded by the most recent HAVA Plan?
