Please accept the following proposed changes to
"1VAC20-70-20. Material omissions from absentee ballots."
" The ballot shall not be rendered invalid based on a missing or illegible postmark if the ballot is received by the general registrar's office by noon on the third day after the election pursuant to § 24.2-709 of the Code of Virginia but the return envelope does not have a postmark, or the postmark is missing or illegible.
G. For the purposes of this regulation, "postmark" means an official postmark of the United States Postal Service (USPS) or any other official indicia of confirmation of mailing by the USPS or other postal or delivery service."
Thank you for ensuring that everyone has a voice.
