Bill > HB1321

This bill amends Virginia law concerning the reporting of primary election results by removing a provision that required the State Board of Elections to send a law-enforcement officer to collect abstract of votes from any county or city if it wasn't received within six days after a state primary election. The bill's stated purpose is to eliminate a conflict with an existing law that already mandates the State Board to dispatch law enforcement if abstracts are not received within ten days after any election, making the earlier six-day requirement redundant. The bill also clarifies that "chairman" in this context refers to the chairman of the political party holding the primary.
