Comment Period | Ended on 8/3/2015 |
As the honorable Delegate Bob Marshall so kindly points out this is unconstitutional. Please keep the form the same and honor our state laws and Virginia Constitution. Please explain to me how changing this form in the proposed way does NOT violate the Constitution below.
Article II, Section 2 of the Virginia Constitution states:
“Applications to register shall require the applicant to provide the following information on a standard form: full name; date of birth; residence address; social security number, if any;whether the applicant is presently a United States citizen; and such additional information as may be required by law. All applications to register shall be completed by or at the direction of the applicant and signed by the applicant, unless physically disabled.”
