Prepaid postage
$2 million will be set aside for pre-paid return postage on all absentee ballots sent out for the general election
Drop off boxes, locations
This would allow Virginians to vote via absentee ballot by using drop boxes or secure drop-off locations, which would be monitored by the state department of elections
Absentee cure process
According to the governor’s office, this will ensure Virginians’ voting rights are protected by allowing them to fix an error on their absentee ballot.
