(HB111)

GOVERNOR'S VETO

Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 111.

I support the intent of this legislation, which is to protect the integrity of our voter rolls by ensuring that voters are not inappropriately or unduly removed. My amendments to this bill would have provided additional time to work on this legislation to ensure it achieves its purpose without risking unintended consequences, such as placing administrative burdens on grieving family members.

The General Assembly rejected these amendments. I look forward to working with legislators in the future on shared priorities related to list maintenance and election integrity.

Accordingly, I veto this bill.
