CH 0080 2013 Periodic Review of Chapter 80 Recounts and Contested Elections
Action 4521
 
General Information
Action Summary The State Board of Elections is proposing amendments to one regulation on recounts and contested elections to implement recommendations received during its periodic review announced May 15, 2013, pursuant to 1 VAC 20-10-120, and to include statutory changes made in the intervening period. The comment period for Chapter 80 opened on June 3, 2013, and closed June 24, 2013. The Board did not take any further action on the matter after the conclusion of the comment period. The current action to seek public comment is an effort to finalize the periodic review. The standards the Board previously relied on have changed through legislation. It is because of this that the proposed regulations differ from the versions previously considered by the Board. The predominate substantive difference includes moving duties associated with the Secretary of the State Board of Elections to the Commissioner of the Department of Elections.
