Board approves amended voter-registration instructions to reflect 2025 deadline changes
Summary
The State Board adopted revised instructions for the Virginia voter-registration application to reflect 2025 legislation shortening the registration close to 10 days before elections (effective July 1, 2025).
The State Board of Elections approved amended instructions for the Virginia voter-registration application to conform to legislation that shortens the voter-registration close to 10 days before elections.
Ms. Coles of the Department of Elections told the board that during the 2025 session the governor signed House Bill 1735 and Senate Bill 991, which reduce the number of days that voter-registration records are closed to 10 days before elections (with some exceptions for certain special elections). The board approved amended instructions to reflect that change; the motion sets the effective date as July 1, 2025.
The board voted unanimously to approve the amended instructions. Chairman O'Bannon, Vice Chair Danz, Mister Weinstein, Doctor Stolle and Secretary Elvis Long recorded ayes.
No additional implementation details or budgetary impacts were discussed in the meeting transcript.
