Voter Information and Resources

It's that time, again, folks. Yep. It's an election year. And this is going to be a big one. So, since today, Tuesday, September 22, is National Voter Registration Day, we thought we would share some resources to make sure that you don't miss out on this oh so important right.

To start, you can check out the National Voter Registration Day website. From here, you can check your registration status and even go ahead and register to vote. You can also find lots of helpful resources for safe voting during COVID-19 as well as ways to get involved in your community.

Also, be sure to visit the Virginia Department of Elections. This site is a one-stop shop for Virginia residents, where you can:

Dates to Remember:

  • Friday, September 18 - Early voting opens at local registrar's office.
  • Tuesday, October 13 - Last day to register to vote.
  • Friday, October 23 - Last day to apply online to vote absentee by mail.
  • Saturday, October 31 - Last day to apply in-person for absentee ballot.
  • Saturday, October 31 - Last day of early voting.
  • Tuesday, November 3 - Election Day!
Also keep in mind: If you are planning on voting in-person on Election Day, don't forget to bring your ID with you to your polling place. Polling places will be open from 6:00AM - 7:00PM.

If you're planning to vote absentee by mail, be sure that your ballot is received on time! It must be received by the third day following Election Day, regardless of when it is postmarked. You are also able to drop off your ballot, in the sealed envelope that is provided, either at your local registrar's office prior to Election Day or at your polling place on Election Day.

Don't forget that if you have questions, or need assistance with voter registration or anything else mentioned above, don't hesitate to reach out to us!
