See especially its “citizen portal.” Local information can also be found at the websites listed on page 3. Voter Registration You must be registered to vote in Virginia. Voter registration is closed during the 21 days before a regularly scheduled election, 6 days before special elections for statewide offices and 13 days for others. Special elections are called to fill vacancies. You are eligible to register to vote if you are: • A citizen of the United States; • A resident of Virginia; • At least 18 years of age on or before the date of the next general election; • Not registered in and not planning to vote in another state; • and have not had your voting rights removed by a court. If convicted of a felony, your right to vote must have been restored. UPDATE: if you are already registered, you do not have to re-register unless you have moved or changed your name. However, to remain a qualified voter in all elections, you must notify your General Registrar of any change in name or ad- dress in a timely manner. You can check to see if you are registered by calling your General Registrar, or by going online to www.vote.virginia.gov, where you can also change your name or address. HOW and WHERE: If you have a current Virginia driver’s license or ID issued by the DMV, you can register online by going to www.vote.virginia.gov/. You can also download and print the registration application form from that web- site or from http://elections.virginia.gov/ and take or mail it to your voter regis- tration office. Voter Registration Application forms are also available at your voter registration office, DMV offices, most public libraries and state and local government offices. Complete and take the form in person or mail to your voter registration office. (See addresses below.) WHEN: Voter Registration Applications are accepted year round. The deadline to register or update your information for general elections is the 22nd day be- fore the election date. Applications arriving between the 22nd day before the 2 THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF THE FAIRFAX AREA election and Election Day will be processed after that election.

If you do not have a valid ID, you can apply for a free Virginia voter photo ID at any local voter registration office throughout the year, including your local Office of Elections on Election Day.

Sent from the office of Delegate Jerrauld “Jay” Jones, I received the email on Friday afternoon, June 5, 2020. I ask that you pass this correspondence to the referenced case file. PUR-2020-00048 Ex Parte: Temporary Suspension of Tariff Attachment - Letter signed by 44 members of the Virginia House of Representatives and 14 members of the Virginia Senate S ID i) 8 IS June 5, 2020 ® 1 (! VIA ELECTRONIC FILING £ Honorable Mark C. Christie Chairman State Corporation Commission 1300 E. Main Street Richmond, VA 23219 Re: Commonwealth of Virginia, ex rel. State Corporation Commission, Ex Parte: Temporary Suspension of Tariff Requirements Case No. PUR-2020-00048 Dear Commissioner Christie: We greatly appreciate the State Corporation Commission’s continued efforts to protect Virginia consumers during the economic crisis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID- 19”). Please accept this informatory letter in response to issues and questions raised in the Commission’s May 26 Order in the referenced docket. In its Order, the Commission asserted that the current moratorium on utility service disconnections for nonpayment “is not sustainable” and could result in costs being “unfairly shifted to other customers.” The Order also suggested that this moratorium could have “negative impacts on small, less-capitalized utilities and member-owned electric cooperatives,” which “could impact vital services to all customers of such utilities.” The Commission requested comment regarding whether the current moratorium should be continued, and if so, for how long.

  • Fairfax County Housing Activities August 2020
    Fairfax County Housing Activities for August 2020 E-ffordable.org We commend the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for redesigning and updating this page. Having information about multiple topics on one page allows advocates to get updates on policy initiatives like the Preservation Task Force and Workforce Dwelling Unit Policy Recommendations, learn about upcoming meetings, review the 2019 Annual Housing Report, and celebrate groundbreaking events this this and this. The new and improved e-ffordable page is a terrific addition to the communications efforts from the department, and we applaud them for this resource! Accessory Dwelling Units Interest in these housing options is growing nationwide. Recently Housing Virginia hosted a webinar ADUs: The Next (Little) Thing in Affordable Housing with a good Q&A section that followed. Additionally, Freddie Mac is following this housing type, and has done a national scan of ADUs. They share their findings in this report. As localities across the country approve greater flexibility in their zoning to allow ADUs, housing advocates must press for the same flexibility to provide these housing options in Fairfax County. Update on Rental Assistance and Eviction Response Attached is an excellent summary analysis on the activities and distribution of CARES Act funding through July 2020 from Coordinated Services Planning. Graphs and tables show how these resources are provided for residents in need of rental assistance, food and utility payment assistance. We commend the county for their transparency in sharing how these critical federal funds are being spent.

  • Legislative Guide
    2020 Legislative Visit Guide Nursing's Public Policy Platform We seek the following commitments from the Commonwealth on behalf of Virginia’s more than 109,000 registered nurses. Protecting the Title of Nursing Patients and families rightfully expect that health professionals who hold themselves out as a nurse have received the legally required education and training. To ensure this, we must maintain existing protections in the Code of Virginia so that non-nurses are prohibited from using the term “nurse.” Ensure an Educated and Adequate Nursing Workforce By providing tax incentives for healthcare professionals who serve as uncompensated preceptors (hands-on clinical instructors) for APRN (advanced practice registered nurses) students, we can increase access to care, address the primary care shortage, handle mental health crises, and manage chronic diseases. All of these factors are crucial in improving the health and wellness of all Virginians. The incentive would be available for uncompensated preceptors, including APRNs, physicians, and physicians’ assistants. Full Practice Authority for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses The current shortage of primary care physicians and the practice barriers faced by APRNs limit Virginians’ access to health care services. APRNs (nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists, nurse-midwives, and clinical nurse specialists) have provided safe, high quality, cost effective care in Virginia for more than four decades, and should be enabled to contribute to the healthcare solution by allowing them to practice to their full scope of education, training, and certification. Virginia’s APRNs currently have barriers to practice which include requirements for physician supervision, collaborative or consultative agreements in order to practice, and restrictions on prescribing authority.
