No changes to voter registration forms!
 

The voter registration form changes proposed by the Board of Elections will destroy the integrity of elections in Virginia.  The proposed changes would certainly enable voting by non-citizens and felons who, by law, are not allowed to vote.  The proposed changes violate both the Constitution of Virginia and the Code of Virginia.

Why does the Board believe it is necessary to remove the requirement to answer the U.S. citizenship question or to provide the applicant's social security number on the application form? This looks like is a blatant attempt by the Board of Elections to load the ballot boxes with illegal votes to affect the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. 

The existing voter registration form is properly designed to ensure that only U.S. citizens who are legal residents of Virginia qualify to vote, as required by the Constitution of Virginia and the Code of Virginia.  Do not change the registration forms!
