Description

Voter registration; duties of the State Board of Elections. Modifies the provision calling for the State Board to cross-check voter registration lists with other states by requiring that the general registrars complete the processing of the list within 30 days of the receipt of the list from the Department of Elections and requiring that the Department of Elections grant an extension of 30 days to process the list if so requested by a general registrar within 48 hours of initial receipt of the list. The bill also prohibits the cancellation of a voter's registration within 90 days prior to a primary or general election solely on the basis of the interstate cross-check program and requires the general registrars to, at a minimum, compare the Virginia voter registration system's registration history and Virginia voting history with the out-of-state registration data provided in the interstate cross-check list. This bill incorporates SB 247. It does not become effective unless an appropriation effectuating the purposes of the bill is included in the general appropriation act passed in 2014 by the General Assembly that becomes law.
