Elections; absentee voting. Provides that qualified voters may vote absentee for any reason. The bill eliminates the present statutory list of specific reasons entitling a voter to cast an absentee ballot. Several special provisions concerning military and overseas absentee voters and disabled voters are consolidated in one new provision. This bill incorporates HB 334 and is identical to HB 562. Amends § 24.2-612 (“List of offices and candidates filed with State Board and checked for accuracy; when ballots printed; number required.”), § 24.2-700 (“Persons entitled to vote by absentee ballot.”), § 24.2-701 (“Application for absentee ballot.”), § 24.2-703.2 (“Replacement absentee ballots for certain disabled or ill voters; penalty.”), § 24.2-706 (“Duty of general registrar and electoral board on receipt of application; statement of voter.”), of the Code of Virginia.
