NO Changes to Affirmations -- NO Non-Citizens be allowed to illegally vote
 
There should be NO changes or removal of the Boxes where the person registering to vote in Virginia must affirm that they are: 1) A Citizen; 2) NOT a Convicted Felon; and 3) Not Mentally Incompetent. This is part of our Virginia Constitution, as stated in Article II, Section 2. of the Virginia Constitution: The General Assembly SHALL, as provided by law ... Registration of voters states, "Applications to register shall be required (NOT May or if, but SHALL) provide full name; date of birth; residence address; social security number, if any; whether the applicant is presently a United States citizen; and such additional information as may be required by law. It is also in the Code of Virginia as detailed in the Comments from the Chesterfield County Republican Committee.
