(Richmond)- Several Virginia Republicans have introduced bills in Richmond to roll back access to early voting in the Commonwealth. These bills have been met with resistance from Democrats, who passed legislation to extend the early voting period during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, in-person early voting is allowed in Virginia 45 days prior to Election Day — but two bills filed, one in the House of Delegates and one in the Senate, could cut that timeframe to 21 days.
