Virginia Law

A. The Department of Elections shall (i) request voter registration information and lists of persons voting at primaries and elections, if available, from the states bordering the Commonwealth and (ii) utilize data regarding voter registration and lists of persons voting at primaries and elections received through list comparisons with other states in order to identify duplicate registrations, voters who no longer reside in the Commonwealth, and other persons who are no longer entitled to be registered as part of its duty to maintain the overall accuracy of the voter registration system.

B. The Department shall compare the data received pursuant to subsection A with the state voter registration list to identify record matches in accordance with § 24.2-407.3. The Department shall include in its report to the House and Senate Committees on Privileges and Elections, required by § 24.2-407.3, the progress of activities conducted under this section, including the number of duplicate registrations found to exist and the procedures that the Department and general registrars are following to eliminate duplicate registrations from the Virginia registered voter lists.

C. The Department shall not utilize any data received pursuant to subsection A for list maintenance purposes when such data file does not include a unique identifier for each individual whose information is contained in the data file. For purposes of this subsection, a "unique identifier" means an individual's full social security number or Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles customer identifier number, or any data field or combination of data fields that can be reliably linked to a single individual.
