OPPOSE: HB2276 – Voter Registration List Maintenance
STATUS: This bill previously passed in the House and TODAY, 2/19, it is on the Senate Second Reading Calendar. It is expected to be on the Senate Third Reading Calendar tomorrow and receive a Senate floor vote.
This bill changes Virginia’s voter list maintenance procedures by creating an 80-point scoring system for voter record verification, requiring four-year retention of cancellation records with public access, establishing strict protocols for removing ineligible voters with due process safeguards, and strengthening voter registration system security. Effective July 1, 2026.

OPPOSE: HB1657 – Voter List Maintenance Timing
STATUS: This bill passed in the Senate yesterday, 2/18, and will now be sent to the Governor’s desk for his signature or veto.
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.
Contact the Governor and tell him to VETO HB1657!

OPPOSE: SB1009 – Ranked Choice Voting Expansion for Localities
STATUS: This bill is on the House Third Reading Calendar TODAY, 2/19 and is expected to receive a floor vote.
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 TODAY, 2/19, it is on the House Second Reading Calendar. It is expected to be on the House Third Reading Calendar tomorrow and receive a House floor vote.
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.

STATUS: This bill is on the House Third Reading Calendar TODAY, 2/19 and is expected to receive a floor vote.

General registrars must separately report early in-person voting results from other absentee ballots and election day voting.
