Find Your Polling Place
Registered voters will need to find their polling place based on their address and county they live in Virginia. We suggest locating your polling location before the election so that you know exactly where to go to vote.
How to Vote Early
Early voting is a great option if you are not able to vote on election day or you want to avoid any last minute emergencies preventing you from getting to the polls on election day.
There are two ways to participate in early voting:
- Apply to "Vote by Mail"
- Visit your local Registrar Office, Satellite Office or Voting Center
Where to Vote Early
If you are registered to vote in the county that you live in, then you may be eligible to vote early at your nearest Registrar's Office, Satellite Office, or Voting Center.
