As an appointed Election Official who works at the polls on Election Day, I am opposed to the proposed regulation by the Virginia State Board of Elections that Absentee Ballots can be placed in Drop Boxes with no postmark. Absentee ballot return envelopes must have a proper postmark verifying that they were returned legitimately and on time.
The Board of Elections cannot alter election law by regulatory action.
