Unlike the other changes made in the proposed regulations, the effort to make these two items (omission of a generational suffix, or failure to provide a residential street identifier) material omissions is NOT included in the four chapters of the 2014 Acts of Assembly that specify the other, required changes. With registrars, officers of election, and citizens from around the Commonwealth agreeing that neither the omission of a generational suffix nor the lack of a street identified is an obstacle to matching the returned ballot to the voter who requested that ballot based on lists and records in the registrar's office, there is simply no institutional need for either of these changes to ensure the security of an absentee ballot or the integrity of the electoral process. All these two changes will do is disqualify votes that do not need to be disqualified, thereby limiting the franchise. This is not what  Virginia should do.
