Harmonizing 1 VAC 20-40-60 and 1 VAC 20-40-40
 

1 VAC 20-40-60(D) requires that the applicant's answers to the supplemental questions "must be in writing and must be returned before the last day to register as established in 24.2-416 of the Code of Virginia." 1 VAC 20-40-40(C) allows the registrar to use "any other means" to establish the applicant's residency.

Accordingly, a couple of issues are presented:

  • 20-40-60(D) and 20-40-40(C) appear to be contradictory.
  • The requirement that the form should be returned before the last day to register should probably be worded such that the form should be returned before the close of books. I think that latter is what was intended, but that's not exactly what the words say.
