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.
