Action | 2015 Voter Registration Application Regulation and Form Update |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 8/3/2015 |
Dear Members of the State Board of Elections -
I, a citizen and voter of the Commonwealth of Virginia, applaud the Department of Election and the State Board of Elections for their revisions to Virginia's Voter Registration form. It is imperative that every effort be taken to ensure that all citizens can make their voices heard at the ballot box.
Far too often, qualified voters are disenfranchised because of technical issues with the voter registration form. The proposed changes are an important step to addressing this problem and should be advanced as soon as possible.
I strongly support the proposed changes and hope members of the State Board of Elections will ratify them following the public comment period. The right to vote is sacred. We cannot allow technical issues to silence the voices of citizens.
James Lewis, Alexandria, VA
