Bill > SB57

This bill requires the Commissioner of Elections to apply for, enter into, and maintain membership for the Commonwealth in the Electronic Registration Information Center, Inc., commonly known as ERIC. ERIC is an organization that helps states improve the accuracy of voter registration lists by securely sharing voter data. The bill mandates that the Commissioner of Elections must submit an application to ERIC, and upon acceptance, sign any necessary membership agreements and pay any required fees to become and remain a member in good standing. This action is being taken to comply with existing requirements outlined in § 24.2-404.4 of the Code of Virginia, which likely pertains to voter list maintenance and data sharing.
