OPPOSE: SB1009 – Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) Expansion for Localities
STATUS: This bill was passed in the House yesterday, 2/19, with a House substitute. The bill will now be sent to the Senate for a vote on the substitute. The House substitute adds that the State Board must approve an RCV election as feasible, if a locality is interested in conducting a RCV election, and provides additional details about how RCV ballots would be counted.
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 previously passed in the Senate and yesterday, 2/19, passed in the House.
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.
