'Virginia Is Leading The Way On Voting Rights And Access': Eugene Vindman Praises VA Voting Reforms

Published

That year, we introduced Sunday voting, made drop off locations and prepaid postage for ballots permanent, and created a process to cure envelope errors. Since 2022, Virginia also allowed same day registration to make it easier to vote. As of 2026, new laws have required officials to certify election results or face a fine, elevate challenges to whether someone can vote to the circuit court level, ban guns within 100ft of election sites, and strengthen the Virginia Voting Rights Act. Virginia has also joined the National Popular Vote Compact. In short, Virginia is leading the way on voting rights and access. She should other states consider these reforms. (00:53–01:10)
