Status:
Killed

Chief Patron:
Alfonso Lopez (D)

Session:
2018 Regular Session

Summary

As Introduced. Voter registration; preregistration for persons age 16 or older.

Permits a person who is otherwise qualified to register to vote and is 16 years of age or older, but who will not be 18 years of age on or before the day of the next general election, to preregister to vote. The preregistration does not entitle such a person to vote in any election except as already permitted by law. The bill requires the Department of Elections to maintain a record of all preregistered voters in the Virginia voter registration system, which shall automatically register a person who is preregistered upon that person's reaching 18 years of age. The bill requires the Department to provide to the general registrars voter confirmation documents for such voters. (Less)
