This one is easy, "public servants."  Read the excerpts from Virginia's Constitution and the Code of Virginia copied below.  YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY UNDER THE CONSTITUTION AND CODE OF VIRGINIA TO CHANGE THE VOTER REGISTRATION FORM.  End of process.  If you want to change the form, then first change the Constitution and the Code of Virginia.  In this state, we insist our public servants follow the law.  The wording is clear; we do not need Washington D.C. machinations and interpretations to attempt to justify changes that will be unlawful.  In addition, changing the size of the form to force unnecessary expenditures in localities is unacceptable and unnecessary.  Listen to the people who work with these forms every day--not to people who appear to have a political agenda and too little familiarity with the process and Virginia law.

Article II, Section 2 of the Virginia Constitution states:

“Applications to register shall require the applicant to provide the following information on a standard form: full name; date of birth; residence address; social security number, if any;whether the applicant is presently a United States citizen; and such additional information as may be required by law. All applications to register shall be completed by or at the direction of the applicant and signed by the applicant, unless physically disabled.”

Code § 24.2-418 states in part:

“The form of the application to register shall require the applicant to provide the following information: full name; gender; date of birth; social security number, if any; whether the applicant is presently a United States citizen; address of residence in the precinct; place of last previous registration to vote; and whether the applicant has ever been adjudicated incapacitated or convicted of a felony, and if so, under what circumstances the applicant’s right to vote has been restored. The form shall contain a statement that whoever votes more than once in any election in the same or different jurisdictions shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony. Unless directed by the applicant or as permitted in § 24.2-411.1 or 24.2-411.2, the registration application shall not be pre-populated with information the applicant is required to provide.”
