§ 24.2-426.1. (For contingent effective date, see Acts 2026, cc. 992 and 1081, cl. 3) Cancellation of registration by voter. (2026 updated section)
A. Any registered voter may cancel his registration by submitting to the general registrar a written authorization, signed by the voter, that his voter registration shall be canceled. Such cancellation authorization shall be made at least 22 days prior to an election in order to be valid in that election, unless such cancellation authorization is made in person or notarized. Within 10 days of receiving such authorization, the general registrar shall acknowledge receipt of the authorization and advise the voter by first-class mail, or in person if such authorization is made in person, that his registration has been canceled.
B. Notice received by a general registrar from the registration official of another jurisdiction, or signed by the voter, that a registered voter has moved from the Commonwealth or that the registered voter has registered to vote outside the Commonwealth subsequent to his registration in the Commonwealth shall be considered a written authorization from the voter to have his registration canceled. Information received through a list exchange or list comparison pursuant to § 24.2-410.3 shall not be deemed to be notice for purposes of this subsection.
2026, c. 1120.
