Description

Jury commissioners; lists of unqualified persons transmitted to State Board of Elections. Requires jury commissioners to transmit to the State Board of Elections a list of those persons not qualified to serve as jurors as a result of (i) not being a citizen of the United States, (ii) no longer being a resident of the Commonwealth, (iii) being a resident of another county or city in the Commonwealth, (iv) having been convicted of a felony and not having had voting rights restored, or (v) having been adjudicated incapacitated. The bill requires the State Board provide such a list to the general registrars for purposes of cancelling voter registration but prohibits cancellation of a voter's registration solely because his name appears on such list in the 60 days prior to any election.

Comments

ACLU-VA Voting Rights, tracking this bill in Photosynthesis, notes:

The ACLU of Virginia is opposed to this legislation. In accordance with the National Voter Registration Act, a voter's registration may not be cancelled within 90 days of an election and Virginia law permits voters 30 days to reply to a notice of cancellation from a general registrar.
