New voting laws go into effect on July 1 in Virginia
HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) - A slew of new laws go into effect on July 1 in the Commonwealth, including some new voting legislation.
Mark Finks, Director of Elections in Harrisonburg, said many of the new pieces of legislation are simply putting practices that were created during the pandemic into law.
“Last year, of course, it was unprecedented. The state had not had to handle a lot of the situations that came into play with last year’s election,” Finks said. “The policies were kind of bore out of those discussions are now just being codified. Some of those will just kind of be the lay of the land, some of them will only be enacted if a state of emergency is enacted.”
