(HB2277)

GOVERNOR'S VETO

Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 2277, which creates a process for the State Board of Elections to remove members of any electoral board.

The instances in Virginia that brought this bill forward were resolved by the process set in current code. This bill is unnecessary and duplicative, as it introduces an alternate process despite the current system functioning effectively.

Accordingly, I veto this bill.
