Bill Summary:

Voter registration; presumption of domicile;
members of a uniformed service and others. Provides that a member
of a uniformed service who is on active duty with permanent orders
stationing him in the Commonwealth shall be presumed to have established
domicile for purposes of satisfying the residency requirements for
voter registration, if he has also established physical presence
and a place of abode in the Commonwealth, unless he expressly states
otherwise. The bill provides for the same presumption for his spouse
and any dependent residing with him. The bill defines "uniformed
service," the same way the term is defined in the Uniform Military
and Overseas Voter Act, as the (i) active and reserve components
of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard of the
United States; (ii) Merchant Marine, commissioned corps of the Public
Health Service, or commissioned corps of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration of the United States; or (iii) Virginia
National Guard.
