Public Comments for: HB1003 - Precincts and polling places; notice of changes mailed at least 30 days prior to election.

HB1003 is a no brainer; I can't believe this notice of polling place changes isn't standard procedure already. Support HB1045 looks great as well, would be a huge step towards making elections more about who has the most popular ideas rather than who can raise the most money. Support HB375 is the main reason I'm commenting; the electoral college is outdated and provides voters in some states with much more power than others. Until the electoral college can be abolished by constitutional amendment, this compact is a great way of ensuring that ALL the people of this country choose its president, not just those in a few swing states. It saddens me to see how many people in the comments on this bill are against this common sense change. Major support SB270 is another no brainer; allowing voters to express their preferences beyond a winner take all system would be a huge win for democracy in the state of Virginia. Support

The League of Women Voters supports HB 940 and HB 1003. Many League Members have extensive experience serving as election officers, including experience where the location of a polling place is changed. We know how important it is to voters to be given timely notice on a new polling location, as well as information on the new polling location if they unknowingly go to the location that they last used for their polling place. Voting should not seem like a puzzle for Virginia voters.
