Youngkin issued Executive Order 35 on Wednesday, which codifies election security protocols established under his governance for all future elections.

“The Virginia model for Election Security works. This isn’t a Democrat or Republican issue, it’s an American and Virginian issue,” Youngkin said in an announcement. “Every legal vote deserves to be counted without being watered down by illegal votes or inaccurate machines. In Virginia, we don’t play games and our model for election security is working.”

One of the most notable requirements of the security protocol is the exclusive use of paper ballots with a traceable chain of custody, offering a more concrete record of votes cast than widely-used electronic voting machines.

Per Newsweek:

Executive Order 35 mandates a “documented chain of custody for paper ballots,” the format in which all Virginians must cast their vote. Youngkin emphasized in the order, “Virginia does not use ‘voting machines,’ just paper ballot counting machines.” The order also stipulates that those paper ballots must be retained by court clerks for 22 months.

In addition, absentee ballots “may not be counted until the last four digits of a voter’s Social Security number and year of birth provided on the envelope are matched to the voter’s record in the statewide voter registration system.” The governor stated earlier in the order that Virginia is one of the few states that require “those registering to vote to provide their full 9-digit Social Security number for registration.”

It also establishes a “triple-check of election result accuracy,” requiring officials to check the results at the precinct level on election night, followed by a post-election review by the Electoral Board at the locality level, and finally, a check by the Department of Elections staff at the state level prior to certification.
