Candidate petitions; residency of petition circulators; signed statement required for nonresident circulators. Removes the requirement that a person circulating a petition of qualified voters be a legal resident of the Commonwealth. The bill requires a nonresident petition circulator to sign a statement on the affidavit accompanying the petition that he consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of Virginia in resolving any disputes concerning the circulation of petitions, or signatures contained therein, by that person. The signatures of qualified voters collected by a nonresident petition circulator who fails to sign such statement, or who later fails to appear or produce documents when properly served with a subpoena to do so, shall not be counted towards the minimum number of signatures required by law.

Candidate petitions; residency of petition circulators, signed statement required for nonresident.

Del. Richard Sullivan [D]
