Make your vote count
Everything a Virginia voter needs, with links straight to the Department of Elections.
Register to vote
You can register online, by mail, or in person. Virginia also offers same-day registration during early voting and on Election Day — your ballot is counted provisionally.
Register onlineCheck your registration
Confirm your address, district, and status in the Citizen Portal before every election. Moving within the county still requires an update.
Check your statusVote early or by mail
Virginia has no-excuse early voting for 45 days before Election Day, and any registered voter may request a mail ballot.

Polls are open 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Election Day. Anyone in line at 7:00 PM is entitled to vote.

Bring an acceptable photo or non-photo ID. Without one you may sign an ID Confirmation Statement and still cast a regular ballot.
