Description

Elections; Voter participation; State Board of Elections to provide information. Requires State Board of Elections to calculate and report voter turnout excluding voters assigned to inactive status. The State Board currently provides elections results and registration statistics on its website, but the voter turnout reported is depressed by the inclusion of voters assigned to inactive status. Voters are assigned to inactive status pursuant to 24.2-428 and 24.2-428.1 if they fail to respond within 30 days to a notice issued by general registrar or other specified events. Read the Bill »
