ELECTIONS
These bills were killed yesterday, January 13th, 2025, through the motion to table them in the House Election Administration Subcommittee.
HB 1573 – Reduces early voting to 10 days.
Proposed reducing the early absentee voting period in Virginia from 45 days to 10 days before an election. The change would have ensured that absentee voting remains available but within a more focused timeframe. It also would have reduced the administrative burden on local election offices, fostering efficient use of resources without compromising access.
