Welcome to the
New Electoral Reform Alliance for Virginia
New ERA for VA is a coalition of
Virginians who support common sense reforms aimed at
making it easier for all of our citizens to exercise
their right to vote. These reforms are based
on three principles:
-
Everyone who is
eligible to vote should be readily able to
do so;
-
The process of
voting should be easy and user-friendly;
-
Voters should have
full confidence in the system.
FEBRUARY 12TH
IS ELECTION DAY IN VIRGINIA!
Please remember
to vote!
If you experience any
problems at the polls, please call 1-866-OUR VOTE to
report it.
