Chap. 389.—An ACT to provide for the registration of voters in cities having
a population of one hundred thousand or more. [H B 260]
Approved March 20, 1920.
Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia as follows:
1. The electoral board of each city having a population of one
hundred thousand or more may, in its discretion, prior to the first day
of April, nineteen hundred and twenty-one, and every alternate year
thereafter, appoint a general registrar for such city, who shall be
a discreet citizen and resident of the city for which he is appointed,
and such registrar shall not hold any other office, by election or ap-
pointments, during his term. Said registrar shall hold office for two
years from the first day of May following his appointment, and until
his successor is duly qualified, except as provided in section six of this
act. The appointment of such registrar shall be in addition to the
office of registrar in each election district in such city now provided
for by law, but each of such registrars, upon the appointment of the
general registrar provided for in this act shall deliver to said registrar
all books, papers and documents pertaining to their respective offices.
2. Such general registrar, subject to the approval of the electoral
board, may appoint such assistants as may be necessary for the per-
formance of the duties of his office, and said assistants are hereby
authorized to do all things necessary for the registration of qualified
voters.
3. It shall be the duty of said general registrar to maintain in the
city hall, or other municipal building, of the city for which he 1s ap-
pointed, an office wherein all qualified voters of such city may be
registered.
4. Such general registrar shall keep separate registration books
for each election district in said city, and, except as otherwise pro-
vided in this act, perform all of the duties now required by law to
be performed by the registrars of the election districts of said city.
5. The city for which he is appointed shall furnish the general
registrar a suitable office in the city hall, or other municipal building,
of said city. All fees collected by the general registrar, or any of
his assistants, shall be paid into the city treasury, and the council of
the city shall allow said general registrar an annual salary of
not less than two thousand dollars for performing the duties required
of him.
6. If any electoral board shall appoint a general registrar in pur-
suance of this act, it may, at the expiration of the term of any such
general registrar, abolish such office by declining to appoint -a suc-
cessor‘and giving notice of such intention to the incumbent, if any,
in which event the preceding sections of this act shall cease to be
operative in such city, and the registration of voters in such city
thereafter shall in all respects conform to the general law (other than
this act) then in force.
7. An emergency existing, this act shall be in force from its
passage.
