Summary

Voter registration; duties of State Board of Elections and general registrars. Requires general registrars to conduct and complete within 30 days of the receipt of precinct lists from the State Board of Elections a cross-check of precinct list voters with voter registration data supplied by other states in the interstate cross-check system developed under current law by the State Board. The bill requires the State Board to grant an extension of up to 30 days to complete the cross-check if so requested by a general registrar within 48 hours of initial receipt of the precinct list. The bill requires the general registrars to, at a minimum, compare the Virginia Voter Registration System registration history and Virginia voting history of precinct list voters with the out-of-state registration data provided in the interstate cross-check system and prohibits the cancellation of a voter's registration within 90 days prior to a primary or general election solely on the basis of the interstate cross-check. The provisions of the bill are contingent on funding in a general appropriation act passed in 2015 by the General Assembly that becomes law.
