Description
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 two new provisions. 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.
