How the Sierra Club's Endorsement Process Works
To ensure the Sierra Club only endorses the best environmental candidates, our grassroots process begins at the chapter level. Volunteers examine each candidate's record and distribute questionnaires to candidates who meet our criteria. State volunteers then hold a first vote on endorsement. The Sierra Club National Political Team, made up of volunteers and staff from around the country, then holds a second vote to confirm the endorsement. Throughout our process, volunteers and staff evaluate the environmental and public health records of candidates and their experience of being a true champion on our issues.

Vote YES on Question 3!
"Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended (i) to provide for the fundamental right to vote in the Commonwealth, (ii) to revise the qualifications of voters so that a person convicted of a felony is not entitled to vote during his period of incarceration but is automatically invested with the right to vote upon release from incarceration, and (iii) to update the existing prohibition on voting by persons found to be mentally incompetent to instead apply to persons who have been found to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting?"
