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

Published

I'd like to focus on how Virginia approaches elections. So since 2020, Virginia has allowed any registered voter to cast an absentee ballot up to 45 days before an election with no explanation required. In 2021, we became the first state to enact our own voting rights legislation. That year, we introduced Sunday voting, made drop off locations and prepaid postage for ballots permanent, and created a process to cure envelope errors. (00:33–00:38)
