Virginia Delegate David Poisson (D-Sterling) has introduced HB 2438, to establish a pilot project for collecting signatures on nominating petitions electronically. The bill adds this sentence to sec. 24.2-506:

“The State Board of Elections is authorized to conduct a pilot project for any candidate who chooses to participate, under which some or all of the signatures required by this section may be provided by electronic mail or other electronic means as may be permitted by the State Board and signed in a manner consistent with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.”
