                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

OTHER LOCATIONS AND TIMES FOR VOTER REGISTRATION (§ 24.2-412)

A. In addition to voter registration locations provided for in &#xA7;&#xA7;
24.2-411, 24.2-411.2, and 24.2-411.3, opportunities for voter registration may
be provided at other agency offices, business offices, establishments, and
occasional sites open to the general public, and shall be provided as required
by this section. Voter registration shall be conducted only in public places
open to the general public and at preannounced hours. Deputy registrars should
serve during such hours and at such places. The conduct of voter registration by
the general registrar or a deputy registrar in public places at preannounced
hours shall not be deemed solicitation of registration.

B. The general registrar is authorized to set within his jurisdiction ongoing
locations and times for registration in local or state government agency offices
or in businesses or other establishments open to the general public, subject to
the approval of, and pursuant to an agreement with, the head of the government
agency, the owner or manager of the business or establishment, or the designee
of either. The agreement shall provide for the appointment of employees of the
agency, business, or establishment to serve as deputy registrars and shall be in
writing and approved by the local electoral board prior to implementation.
			Employees of the agency, business, or establishment who are appointed to
serve as deputy registrars may be nonresidents of the jurisdiction they are
appointed to serve, provided that (i) they are qualified voters of the
Commonwealth and (ii) they serve only at their place of employment within the
jurisdiction they are appointed to serve.

C. The general registrar or electoral board may set additional occasional sites
and times for registration within the jurisdiction. A multifamily residential
building not usually open to the public may be used as an occasional
registration site so long as the public has free access to the site during the
time for registering voters. Voter registration conducted in a high school or at
the location of a naturalization ceremony shall not be required to be open to
the public.
