RETURN OF REGISTERED VOTER TO ACTIVE STATUS (§ 24.2-428.2)

A registered voter shall be returned to active status from inactive status if,
during the period beginning on the date the voter was assigned to inactive

city;

2. Responds to a confirmation notice with information that the voter continues
to reside at the registration address;

3. Votes or attempts to vote in a primary or a special or general election and,
if necessary, corrects the registration record; or

4. Transfers his registration to another county or city within the Commonwealth,
pursuant to &#xA7; 24.2-424 or subsection E of &#xA7; 24.2-428.
			If the registered voter fails to take such action on or before the day of the
