I am opposed to any all bill that make it easier to cheat in elections like these bills being presented. I am opposed to any and all bills that make same sex marriage acceptable. I am opposed to any and all bills that allow full term abortion and allow minors to have abortions with out the parents knowledge. I am opposed to any and all bills that would allow minors to undergo transgender surgery . I am opposed to any and all bills that will raise taxes while the politicians are trying to give themselves a 150% increase no that is not acceptable.

As a Virginia voter, I support HB 28 and thank Delegate Henson for introducing it. Maintaining public confidence in the accuracy and integrity of our voter data is essential. Conducting systematic voter list changes too close to an election creates confusion and undermines trust. HB 28 provides reasonable, commonsense protections. Thank you.

Many election officials in Loudoun County oppose HB28. It jeopardizes election integrity by preventing broad reviews or cross-checks (e.g., with other states, postal data, or federal databases) during the critical pre-election window, potentially allowing ineligible voters to remain on rolls when ballots are cast and counted. In close races, outdated or inaccurate rolls heighten fraud risks and erode public confidence. Virginia should reject arbitrary restrictions on roll hygiene in favor of continuous, robust verification to protect fair and trustworthy voting.

Oppose Democrats and Socialists forcing gerrymandering in Virginia. We know that the left is trying to get power. We know the illegal aliens are one source for getting democratic votes. What happened to following the Rule of Law in America and following it without causing chaos, lockdowns, destruction, propaganda, riots, censoring, spying, fraudulent schemes, mail in ballots, and other forms of corruption?

OPPOSE HB 28Accurate voter rolls are essential for public confidence in election outcomes, and this bill creates unnecessary barriers to achieving that goal. HB 28 imposes a 90-day 'quiet period' before all elections and prohibits systematic removal of ineligible voters, risking inaccurate voter rolls. Doubles the time for non-citizens to respond to notifications and places unnecessarily delays critical to updating voter lists. Restrictions on timely voter roll maintenance undermines election integrity by potentially allowing ineligible individuals to remain registered. Please vote NO

I do not support HB28. It imposes unnecessary restrictions on timely voter roll maintenance thereby undermining election integrity by potentially allowing ineligible individuals to remain registered.

• As proposed, the bill’s minimum impact will eliminate 6 months of time for updates due to the yearly June Primary and November General elections. • Many localities have additional special primary elections each year – a 90-day quiet period would further restrict a registrar from fulfilling their duty to maintain accurate voter rolls per federal requirement. • An additional 90-days would be eliminated during the years with a Presidential Primary o The National Change of Address (NCOA) updates are typically completed during January or February – the bill would prohibit this update in time for the Presidential Primary • This legislation severely restricts registrars’ responsibly to maintain accurate voter registration rolls, and increases costs for duplicate and unnecessary mailings, staff time, decreases election officers’ ability to run efficient precincts, adds to voter confusion when not notified of polling place locations. • Therefore I strongly oppose HB28.

Dear Members of the Virginia Legislative Committee, I am writing to express my opposition to HB 28, which mandates a regular periodic review of voter registration records. As a concerned citizen of Virginia with a deep interest in maintaining fair and accessible elections, I believe this bill introduces unnecessary barriers to voting and risks disenfranchising eligible voters. HB 28 requires the Department of Elections to conduct frequent reviews of voter rolls with the intent of removing individuals deemed ineligible. While the goal of ensuring accurate voter records is commendable, this legislation places an undue burden on local election officials by mandating reviews without providing adequate resources or clear guidelines for implementation. This could lead to inconsistent application across jurisdictions, resulting in confusion and potential errors in voter roll maintenance. Furthermore, the bill risks disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations, such as low-income individuals, the elderly, and those with limited access to documentation, who may struggle to verify their eligibility during these reviews. Such outcomes could undermine trust in our electoral system and suppress voter participation. As a Virginian who values the democratic process, I am particularly concerned about the impact of HB 28 on my community. Many of my neighbors and fellow citizens, including those who have recently moved or face economic challenges, may find themselves inadvertently removed from the rolls due to administrative oversights or inability to respond promptly to verification requests. I have witnessed firsthand how difficult it can be for some to navigate bureaucratic processes, and I fear this bill will exacerbate those challenges, effectively silencing voices that deserve to be heard on Election Day. Our state should prioritize policies that encourage participation, not create hurdles that could prevent law-abiding citizens from exercising their fundamental right to vote. I respectfully urge the committee to reconsider HB 28. While maintaining accurate voter records is important, this legislation risks disenfranchisement and places unnecessary strain on election officials without ensuring fair or equitable outcomes. Virginia deserves an electoral system that is both secure and accessible, and I believe HB 28 falls short of that standard. Thank you for considering my perspective and for your dedication to serving the Commonwealth. Sincerely, Deborah Wahlstrom

Fair Elections Center SUPPORTS HB 28 because it prevents last minute mistakes and administrative errors from harming the voting rights of eligible people to vote in Virginia elections. These rules currently exist in federal law and are applied to federal elections in Virginia. These same principles of protecting eligible voters from last minute mistakes also apply in state elections.

HB 28 The League of Women Voters of Virginia supports the bill and thanks Delegate Henson for introducing HB 28. The bill provides for a 90-day quiet period before Virginia elections, when the state cannot conduct systematic voter purges. It parallels the federal law requiring a 90-day quiet period leading up to federal elections. It also protects voters by extending the time for our registrars to cancel the registration of voters deemed to be ineligible to vote and by allowing voters 28 days to respond to a notice of cancellation, which is double the amount of time they now have. Considering the unreliability of mail delivery, that is an important improvement to Virginia’s voter registration rules. HB 78 The League supports HB 78. Past experience shows that the law needs to be clarified. Local Electoral Boards’ post-election duties are prescribed in the Code of Virginia and further detailed in the official handbook for general registrars and electoral boards. Once these tasks are accomplished, the responsibility of certifying an election is not discretionary. The bill codifies this clarification. HB 968 The League thanks Chair Price for carrying HB 968, which is simply a prophylactic measure to ensure that machine-readable ballots are cast on ballot scanning machines. Machine tallies are far more accurate than humans at counting ballots. Using ballot scanners whenever the ballots are printed for that purpose will provide election results quickly and accurately. HB 1213 The League opposes HB 1213. The voters who affirm their identities declare, under penalty of law, that they are who they say they are. Requiring voters to provide additional personal data on their Voter ID Confirmation Statement would needlessly turn legitimate voters away from the ballot box. Thank you.

I am strongly opposed to all changes in HB 28. This includes but is not limited to time restraint changes such as; increasing time limits on systematic removal of ineligible voters from voter registration and extending period of time registrars have to cancel registrations from 30-60 days

My husband and I are extremely concerned about proposed abortion bills and legislation. We have lived in this state for many years and never dreamed of these bills moving forward and are aghast at the thought of it. We are vehemently opposed to any such passage of abortion and whole heartedly in favor of preserving and protecting all life espeically of the most vulnerable unborn life that all science now admits. Please say "no" to such bills.
