Action | 2015 Voter Registration Application Regulation and Form Update |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 8/3/2015 |
The changes the Virginia Board of Elections is proposing to our voter registration form are illegal. Refer to Article II Section 2 and also to Code 24.2-418 in reference to what our Virginia Constitution says in relation to voter registration laws. The registrants have to be asked if they are a United States citizen, if they have been convicted of a felony, and if they ever have been adjudicated to have a mental incapacity AND under what circumstances the applicant's right to vote has been restored. These are questions that are MANDATORY to be answered by the applicant - period. These laws within our Virginia Constitution were written and passed for a reason and for the Virginia Board of Elections to try to ignore them is unlawful - period.
