Non-Material Omission – Address with Street Identifier
 

The voter name (to include generational suffix when registered at the same address), voter signature, witness signature, and date on Envelope B should always be considered material. 

 

The voter has previously signed a voter declaration/affirmation that includes a registration address when the voter applied to vote absentee.  Since the voter has already provided a full registration address on the Virginia Absentee Ballot Application and 99% of the domestic ballots are returned in an envelope affixed with a Virginia Election Registration Information System-generated address label, the repeat of the address on Envelope B should not be considered material.  Eliminate the street address with street identifier as a material omission.
