Automatic Voter Registration Work Group Meeting
Jun 24, 2026 12:00 PM
This work group is convened by the Secretary of Administration in compliance with HB 319 and SB 658 which were enacted during the 2026 Session of the General Assembly. This work group will not be led by the State Board of Elections, but members from the Department of Elections will participate. The purpose of the work group is to study the potential move from the Commonwealth's current front-end, opt-out automatic voter registration (AVR) system to a back end, opt-out AVR system. The Work Group will consider the effectiveness, efficiency, and security of back end, opt-out AVR as compared to front-end, opt-out AVR and identify the costs and benefits of implementing back-end, opt-out AVR in the Commonwealth. The Work Group will identify current obstacles to implementation, including the capacity of current technology infrastructure, and estimate potential upfront and ongoing costs of back-end, opt-out AVR.
