Virginia HB972 modifies the state's voter registration system by enhancing list maintenance activities, establishing procedures for voter registration cancellation, and setting conditions for placing voters on inactive status. The bill mandates the Department of Elections to compare voter registration records with other states and data sources to identify duplicate registrations and voters who no longer reside in Virginia. It outlines specific scenarios for voter registration cancellation, such as failure to respond to confirmation notices, felony convictions, and incapacity adjudications.
