  • Can I vote by mail?

    Yes! If you're registered you can request to have your ballot mailed to you. You must request it by October 28th, but we recommend doing it sooner. Then, you can fill it out and return it by November 8th. Note that you need a witness signature for when you fill out your ballot. You can request your ballot here.

  • Can I vote early?

    There is early in-person voting, which runs from September 23rd to November 5th.

  • Do I need an ID?

    Yes, yes you do. A state driver's license, US passport, student ID from a Virginia school of higher education or any private school, employee ID, tribal ID, voter photo ID card all work. If you don't have one, you may be able to sign an ID statement confirming your identity. Get all the details below from VoteRiders.

SINCE YOU LAST VOTED…

Since 2020, there have been changes that will impact how you cast your ballot in Virginia. Here are the differences you should keep an eye on: 

When registering to vote…

  • If you are sixteen or older, will be eighteen by the next general election, and meet all other voter eligibility requirements, you can pre-register to vote.
  • Virginia also now has same-day registration, which enables voters to register to vote and cast a provisional ballot on the same day during Early Voting or on Election Day.
