Size Rules On Precincts Do Not Force 500 Voter Count
Virginia Attorney General Andrew Miller said counties cannot dodge buying voting machines by creating precincts under 500 registered voters. There is no requirement every precinct must have 500 voters, and the 100 to 5,000 voter range governs precinct size. Counties with 500 or more voters must have machines by Oct. 1, 1976, under new laws.
