Virginia Bills to Allow Write-In Votes in Primaries

On January 11, Virginia State Senator Frank W. Wagner (R-Virginia Beach) introduced SB 510, to allow write-in votes in all primaries. Currently Virginia permits write-ins in all general elections, but not in any primaries. See this story, which says that although the bill may pass, legislative leaders don’t expect to pass it with an urgency clause. That would require an 80% vote in each house of the legislature. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link. UPDATE: the same bill is pending in the House. It is HB 1132, by Delegate Mark Cole (R-Fredericksburg).
