Primary elections; voter registration by political party. Adds party affiliation to the information that an applicant is asked to provide when registering to vote. The applicant may indicate that he is an independent.

Voters may change their party affiliation or independent status by written notice at any time before the registration records are closed prior to an election. The state party chairman of each political party must notify the State Board of Elections by January 31 of each year of the party rules governing who may participate in the party primary. Amends § 24.2-530 (“Who may vote in primary.”), § 24.2-535 (“Vote required to nominate.”), of the Code of Virginia. View Full Text »

This just allows the political parties to target voters. Don't we have more important thing to work on in Richmond. What ever happened to closing down the ABC stores and saving some 200 million.
