Though state law allows people who didn’t indicate citizenship status when filling out forms at the Department of Motor Vehicles to be removed from voter rolls, two lawsuits have alleged that Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s administration is violating federal law by continuing removals within 90 days of Election Day.

For anyone who became a citizen since their last DMV visit, or who suspects they made an error filling out their paperwork that would have booted them from voter lists, there are still ways to cast a ballot in next month’s elections.

Registrars and election workers won’t turn eligible voters away from polls if they wish to utilize same-day registration or a provisional ballot, according to Henrico County Registrar Mark Coakley.

“So if they were canceled or not registered, provisional ballots are a fail-safe method.”

Provisional ballots, most often used in same-day voter registration, also are used when people run into paperwork or registration issues that might need to be resolved. With a provisional ballot, voters will still need to follow up with their local registrar’s office to provide additional documents that can help verify their identity or other facts, like if they are residents of Virginia and the city or county they voted in, and whether they are U.S. citizens or have had their voting rights restored after a previous felony conviction.

“We can research to make sure they are citizens or became citizens or had their rights restored,” Coakley explained.

Coakley said when using a provisional ballot, voters are also given instructions to help with the follow-up procedures.

“They’ll get a letter attached to their provisional ballot, giving them all the information of ‘This is the reason why (you may have this ballot)’ and ‘Here’s the ways to get hold of us to present evidence if you choose to do so,’” he said.

Chesterfield County Registrar Missy Vera stressed that same-day registration can happen at any early voting location as well as on Election Day, which is Nov. 5.

Coakley also suggested that anyone who might be concerned they could have been mistakenly caught up in the recent voter roll purges check the Virginia Department of Elections’ online citizen portal to see their voter status.

Andrea Gaines, a communications manager at the Department of Elections, also said that people “can always reach out to their local registrar if they have questions about their registration status.” 

Vera, from Chesterfield County, concurred.

“Anyone may call our office to inquire about their registration or inquire as to their options,” she said. “We are happy to help.”

Early voting — by mail, ballot drop boxes, and at select locations — runs through Nov. 2. Election Day is Nov. 5.
