No Changes should be made to the current requirements on the Voter Registration Application Form
 

Please retain the required boxes on the Voter Registration Application Form that require prospective voter to answer the two questions concerning voter eligibility.  These two questions are (1) Do you have a criminal record, and (2) have you been deemed mentally incapable.  These boxes were established to maintain that voters in the state of Virginia have the integrity and the wisdom to legally vote carefully and honestly.  Voting is an activity requiring high moral values on the part of each citizen allowed to vote. This responsibility is to be sealed by setting  standards that include only voters with high integrity and stability- the health of the state and those within it is at stake.
