(HB2668)

GOVERNOR'S VETO

Pursuant to Article V, Section 6 of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 2668, which provides for the removal of electoral board members or the general registrar.

This bill creates a duplicative process to be conducted by the State Board of Elections for the removal of an electoral board member or general registrar. A process set in code already provides for the removal of a member of an electoral board or general registrar. Thus, this bill is redundant, as it introduces an alternative process despite the existing system functioning effectively.

Accordingly, I veto this bill.
