Chesterfield County reminds voters casting by-mail absentee ballots to follow state law
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — Chesterfield County is reminding voters casting by-mail absentee ballots to follow state law for their votes to count.
Chesterfield County voters casting by-mail absentee ballots must provide the last four digits of their Social Security Number and their birth year on the “Statement of Voter” section of the ballot envelope, according to the county.
The county said legislative changes, such as HB 1948, removed the witness signature requirement for absentee ballots and required voters to provide the last four digits of their Social Security Number and birth year on the ballot envelope instead.
Ballots will not be counted if the voter does not fill in the “Statement of Voter” portion on the envelope completely and accurately.
