OPPOSE: SB1009 – Ranked Choice Voting Expansion for Localities
STATUS: This bill will be voted on TODAY, 2/10 in the House Privileges and Elections, Election Administration Subcommittee at 4pm in House South Subcommittee Room – 210.
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, 2/10 in the House Privileges and Elections, Election Administration Subcommittee at 4pm in House South Subcommittee Room – 210.
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.

BILL UPDATE – OPPOSE
OPPOSE: SB813 – Voter List Maintenance Timing
STATUS: This bill was passed by the House Privileges and Elections Committee and will be moving to the House floor for a vote.
Requires certain list maintenance programs that remove ineligible voters to be completed 90 days before any primary or general election, extending the current requirement that certain list maintenance programs (like address updates at large scale) cannot be completed within 90 days before a general election. Because Virginia has frequent elections, this bill proposes changes that would impede voter list accuracy.
