OPPOSE: HB1657 – Voter List Maintenance Timing
STATUS: This bill will be voted on in the House Privileges and Elections Committee TODAY, 1/31 at 9am in House Committee Room C – 206.
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.

OPPOSE: HB2002 – Voter Registration Cancellation Data Sources
STATUS: This bill will be voted on in the House Privileges and Elections Committee TODAY, 1/31 at 9am in House Committee Room C – 206.
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 will be voted on in the House Privileges and Elections Committee TODAY, 1/31 at 9am in House Committee Room C – 206.
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 – CALL TO ACTION
OPPOSE: SB1009 – Ranked Choice Voting Expansion for Localities
STATUS: This bill will be voted on for the 2nd Reading TODAY, 1/31 on the Senate Floor.
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.
