'Section 8(c)(2) of the NVRA, also known as the Quiet Period Provision,
requires states to complete systematic programs aimed at removing the
names of ineligible voters from voter registration lists no later than
90 days before federal elections.'

Note: the National Voter Registration Act has been in force and applied
since 1993.
And there was no need to be concerned about the Virginian law when it
was applied outside the 90 day period before an election.
