Title of Regulation: 1VAC20-40. Voter Registration.
Statutory Authority: § 24.2-103 of the Code of Virginia.
Name of Petitioner: Ann Grigorian.
Nature of Petitioner's Request: The petitioner requests a process be established that allows jury commissioners to relay, from lists of registered voters obtained from the Department of Elections under § 24.2-405 of the Code of Virginia, the information obtained from those persons not qualified to serve as jurors as a result of (i) not being a citizen of the United States, (ii) no longer being a resident of the Commonwealth, (iii) being a resident of another county or city in the Commonwealth, (iv) having been convicted of a felony and not having had voting rights restored, or (v) having been adjudicated incapacitated and disqualified to vote and not having had voting rights restored. The rule provides a process whereby the sheriff, clerk of court, or other official responsible for maintaining such information provided by the commissioners may enter into an agreement with the general registrar for the locality to make that information available to that general registrar. The general registrar shall utilize the information received pursuant to this policy to identify registered voters who are no longer qualified to vote and to initiate list maintenance procedures pursuant to current law.
Agency Decision: Request denied.
