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.

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?

I oppose HD1213. This is an effort to disenfranchise voters. These voters are already registered. They have already provided the additional info to our office at the time of registration. Their name is already in the pollbook.

I support this bill

HB51 - added burden to registrars and expenses to towns and counties. With the required 45 day voting season this bill would expand annual days of voting greater than 90 with each additional election. Oppose. HB773 - opens the possibility of fraud when extending the number of days to count the ballots. Oppose. HB 1213 - adds uniformity to each district in collecting voter information for vetting. Support HB1321 - opens the possibility of voter fraud by increasing the number of days from 6 to 10. Oppose. HB968 - Hand ballot counting should always be an option as machine malfunction or are tampered with. Oppose. HB78 - creates an added burden for electoral board members making it more difficult to find volunteers. Oppose.

This bill provides a means of accurate record keeping for those who fail to provide an valid ID when voting in-person. Since each person who votes must be given "voting credit" for voting in the election of record, it is vital that the correct voter be given credit only when he or she actually votes. Due to the similarity of many names, providing only the name and no other identifying information may and does result in the wrong name being given voter credit when using only the name supplied by the voter. This use of a single item, a name, by the Officer of Election may and does result in errors. Additional information should be used to assure the voter that the correct voter is credited with voting. When the wrong name is marked as having voted, the correct voter will be required to complete a Provisional ballot when attempting to vote. This Provisional Ballot may fail to be accepted by the Electoral Board resulting in the correct voter being unable to vote because of a mistake whether intentional or accidental by another person. Please vote for HB1213 to assure that all eligible voters have their votes counted.

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 a precinct chief in Loudoun County. I wholeheartedly support this bill. This will decrease the potential for cheating to occur. THIS IS COMMON SENSE.

HB1213 is excellent. This bill should be signed. In lieu of physical identification, the ID confirmation statement should also require the voter's birth year and last 4 digits of their social security number.

Simply requiring a voter to document the last four digits of their SSN along with their birth date is VERY reasonable! Opposing such a thing would lead the public to wonder why.

Please support HB1213, the common-sense bill that will bring Virginia voter ID requirements up to the standards of so many other states. HB1213 requires affirmation statement in lieu of identification to require information that will affirm that the voter is who they claim to be. Over 80% of all voters support voter ID and HB1213 should receive bipartisan support. Retaining the document, as required by this bill, and requiring the final four digits of the voter's Social Security Number are minimum security standards for this document.

This bill strengthens Virginia's voter identification safeguards while preserving access to the ballot for those who lack acceptable photo ID or other required documentation. Under current Virginia law, voters without an acceptable form of identification may cast their ballot by signing an **ID Confirmation Statement** (also referred to as an affirmation statement in lieu of identification). This provision ensures that no eligible voter is turned away due to missing ID, balancing security with inclusivity. However, the existing affirmation process relies primarily on the voter's signature and a basic affirmation of identity, which provides limited additional verification. This bill builds on that framework by requiring voters who use the affirmation statement—whether voting **absentee in person** or **at the polls on election day**—to provide: - Their **full name**, - **Year of birth**, - And the **last four digits of their Social Security number** (if they have one). These modest additions enable election officials to more effectively cross-check the voter's identity against registration records, helping to confirm that the person signing the statement matches a registered voter in the precinct or jurisdiction. The last four digits of the SSN serve as a widely used, non-intrusive identifier in many verification contexts (similar to banking, employment, and government services) without requiring disclosure of the full number, thereby protecting privacy. The bill also mandates that the completed form—containing both the affirmation statement and this supplemental voter information—be **retained as part of the official election materials**. This creates a clear, auditable paper trail that can support post-election reviews, audits, or investigations if questions arise about a specific ballot. By closing this small gap in the current system, the legislation enhances overall election integrity and public confidence in Virginia's voting process. It deters potential misuse or impersonation without imposing new barriers that would disenfranchise legitimate voters, as those who already possess acceptable ID are unaffected. This targeted, common-sense improvement aligns with broader efforts to secure elections while upholding Virginia's tradition of accessible voting. Support for this bill promotes trustworthy, verifiable elections that every Virginian can have faith in.

Please require that all Virginia voters provide an official form of ID at the time of voting. This is needed to drive, get on airplanes, hotel, and many other things less important. To show an ID that proves who you are and citizenship status is vital for the integrity of our elections. Anything less leads the public to believe there is fraud in our elections. Don’t let that happen. I don’t believe anyone should verbally vouch for friends, voter registration should happen prior to the election, and only US citizens in good standing should be given the privilege. Protect our elections in Virginia!

I strongly support this bill. Birth Year and Last 4 digits of your SSN# should be required on the ID Confirmation Statement. It adds an extra layer of security. Every other election related document requires this information.
