On October 18, the ACLU of Virginia sent a letter to the Virginia State Police and Virginia Department of Elections to immediately investigate and remediate the unlawful removal from the voter rolls the hundreds, and potentially thousands, of eligible Virginia voters whose civil rights were previously restored.

"The speedy reinstatement of these voters is urgent as we approach a critical election in three weeks – one that will determine all 140 seats of the General Assembly as well as various local offices around the Commonwealth," stated the letter. 

Virginians deserve greater transparency regarding both the circumstances surrounding their removal and the specific steps being taken to identify and reinstate such voters.
