Description
Absentee voting; emergency absentee voting by and late applications for persons hospitalized; definition of hospital. Amends the definition of hospital, for purposes of emergency absentee voting by or late absentee ballot applications for persons who have been hospitalized, so that it is not limited to hospitals in Virginia, the District of Columbia, or a state contiguous to Virginia. The bill also removes the requirement that a person submitting a late absentee ballot application due to the hospitalization of himself or a member of his immediate family or to the death of a member of his immediate family must be absent from his county or city on election day in order to be eligible for the late absentee ballot application.
