An acceptable form of ID is required to vote in person in Virginia. Voters who do not present this ID can cast a provisional ballot. Examples of acceptable ID are a driver's license, current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or another government document with the voter’s name and address.

Another option is a mail-in ballot. Applications to request a mail-in ballot are due by 5 p.m. on Oct. 27. Completed ballots must be returned to the Office of Voter Registration & Elections by 7 p.m. on Nov. 7 or postmarked by Nov. 7 and received by the Office of Elections by noon on Nov. 13.

To request a mail-in ballot, visit vote.elections.virginia.gov, download an application online or call the Office of Voter Registration & Elections at 703-746-4050.
Mail-in ballots can be returned by mail, in person or drop box. A secure ballot drop box is available 24/7 until 7 p.m. Nov. 7 in front of the Office of Voter Registration & Elections. Ballot drop boxes will also be provided during early voting hours at Beatley Library and at all polling places from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Nov. 7.

As part of a new Virginia law, mail-in ballots must include the last four digits of the voter's Social Security number and birth year instead of the previous witness signature requirement.

Same Day Voter Registration

Oct. 16 was the deadline for voter registration or updating an existing voter registration (such as an address change). Voters who did not update their registration before the Oct. 16 deadline can still cast a provisional ballot on Election Day through the same-day registration process. Voters must be in the correct locality and polling place to cast a provisional ballot. Once the provisional ballot is verified, it will be counted in the official voting tallies.

Check your registration online at vote.elections.virginia.gov.

How to Vote on Election Day

Visit your assigned polling place during voting hours to cast a ballot on Tuesday, Nov. 7. Voting hours are 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can find your polling place on the Virginia Department of Elections citizen portal. A precinct map is also available from the Office of Voter Registration and Elections.

Like in-person early voting, an acceptable form of ID is required to vote in person on Election Day. Provisional ballots are an alternative to voters without an ID at their polling place.

Where To Find Election Results

Unofficial election results will start to come in after polls close at 7 p.m. on Nov. 7 on the Virginia Department of Elections website. Follow Patch on Election Day for live coverage of local and state election results.
