VOTER ID REQUIREMENT

NOTE: Virginia’s voter identification laws have changed. All voters must provide an acceptable form of identification when voting in person. Those who do not have an acceptable ID must either complete an ID Confirmation Statement or vote a provisional ballot. This requirement applies both to in person absentee voting before Election Day as well as Election Day voting. In additional to photo ID, acceptable forms of ID now include voter confirmation documents, current utility bill, bank statement, government check, pay check, or other government document with the voter’s name and address. For details on acceptable ID’s please visit https://www.elections.virginia.gov/media/formswarehouse/voter-id/outreach-materials/documents/EditedVoter-Identification-Chart-07.2020.pdf

ONLINE VOTER REGISTRATION

Voters who have a valid Virginia driver’s license or other DMV ID can now register to vote or update their voter registration directly online at www.elections.virginia.gov.  Paper applications are available online at www.elections.virginia.gov, at city post offices and all Virginia Voter Registration Offices.
