On April 4, Virginia Governor Robert McDonnell signed HB 1133, which legalizes out-of-district petitioners. This is the first ballot access improvement Virginia has made since 2001.
HB 1133 only passed because a U.S. District Court earlier this year ruled the in-district residency requirement unconstitutional. The case was Lux v Rodrigues, and it had been filed in 2010.
