OPPOSE: HB2002 – Voter Registration Cancellation Data Sources
STATUS: This bill previously passed the House and is on the Senate Third Reading Calendar TODAY, 2/14, and is expected to receive a floor vote.
This bill limits voter registration cancellations to data provided only by the Department of Elections or state-approved agencies, inhibiting our general registrars ability to maintain an accurate registered voter list.

OPPOSE: HB2277 – Compelled Election Results Certification
STATUS: This bill previously passed the House and is on the Senate Third Reading Calendar TODAY, 2/14, and is expected to receive a floor vote.
Imposes $1,000 civil penalty on electoral board members who refuse to certify results. This impedes their ability to serve properly as an electoral board member, oversee elections and use their best judgement to certify elections.

OPPOSE: HB2056 – Weaken Authority of Electoral Boards
STATUS: This bill previously passed the House and is on the Senate Third Reading Calendar TODAY, 2/14, and is expected to receive a floor vote.
This bill removes the ability for local Electoral Boards to set details for early voting, including operating hours, and instead places those decisions in the hands of City Councils and Boards of Supervisors. Decisions of this nature are best left with Electoral Boards who are charged to oversee elections and know local elections best.

OPPOSE: SB1009 – Ranked Choice Voting Expansion for Localities
STATUS: This bill will be voted on TODAY, 2/14, at 9AM in the House Privileges and Elections Committee in House Committee Room C-206.
Expands ranked choice voting options for all local offices, despite this method of voting being riddled with problems that disenfranchise voters. Currently, any Virginia locality is allowed to use Ranked Choice Voting for City Council and Board of Supervisor elections, but not any other election; we oppose expansion in any form. This bill also requires localities to receive state approval on feasibility before implementation.

OPPOSE: SB760 – Absentee Ballot Receipt Deadline
STATUS: This bill will be voted on TODAY, 2/14, at 9AM in the House Privileges and Elections Committee in House Committee Room C-206.
Changes deadline from noon to 5:00 PM on the third day after Election Day for receiving absentee ballots and for a voter to provide missing information needed to accompany a provisional ballot (like an ID). This change would unnecessarily delay election results, decreasing voter confidence.
