Memorandum

To: Chairman Brink, Vice Chair O’Bannon, and Secretary LeCruise From: Paul G. Saunders, III, Election Administration Supervisor Date: April 03, 2020 Re: Ballot order for candidate names for June 2020 Primaries

Suggested motion for a Board member to make:

“I move that the Board certify the determinations by lot of the order of candidates on the ballot for primary elections to be held on June 09, 2020.”

Applicable Code Section: § 24.2-529. Primary ballots.

The primary ballots for the several parties taking part in a primary shall be composed, arranged, printed, delivered, and provided in the same manner as the general election ballots except that at the top of each official primary ballot shall be printed in plain black type the name of the political party and the words "Primary Election." The names of the candidates for various offices shall appear on the ballot in an order determined by the priority of the time of filing for the office. In the event two or more candidates file simultaneously, the order of filing shall then be determined by lot by the electoral board or the State Board as in the case of a tie vote for the office. No write-in shall be permitted on ballots in primary elections.

Memorandum

To: Chairman Brink, Vice Chair O’Bannon, and Secretary LeCruise

From: Dave Nichols, Elections Services Manager

Date: April 3, 2020

Re: Candidate Filing Extension

Possible motion for the Board to make:

Move that the Board grant an extension pursuant to Virginia Code § 24.2-503 for candidates to file the statement of qualifications in relation to the June primary elections.

Applicable Code Sections: Va. Code § 24.2-501 and Va. Code § 24.2-503

Background : Pursuant to Va. Code § 24.2-501, an individual that wants to be a candidate for office must submit a statement of qualifications. As the statement of qualifications is an element of candidate filings, failure to submit this document would prohibit an individual from having their name printed on the ballot and becoming a candidate.

Pursuant to Va. Code § 24.2-503, the State Board of Elections may grant an extension of the filing deadlines for the statement of qualifications and economic interests. Any extension granted may only be for a 10 day time period. If the State Board of Election grants an extension, the Department of Elections must notify all candidates of the extension.
