Voter Registration

How to Register

Voter registration is available to any Virginia resident who will be eighteen years of age or older by the next General election. Registration can be accomplished at the office of the General Registrar, in person, or by any of the following methods: calling for an application which can be sent and returned by mail; at DMV when obtaining or renewing a driver's license; at any state or federal agency; or by visiting the Virginia Department of Elections.

Moving Within The County

If moving within the County or to another county or city within the Commonwealth, the same procedure may be followed. The final day of registration is 21 days prior to any election.

Absentee Ballot

Properly registered voters can vote early at the office of the General Registrar (Historic Clerk's Office) beginning forty-five (45) days before Election Day and ending the Saturday before Election Day.  You do not have to have a reason or fill out an application to vote early.  Accessible equipment and/or curbside voting is available upon request.

For more election information, please visit the Virginia Department of Elections website.

For those who are currently serving in the Military, or may be overseas, please visit the Military and Overseas Voting Information section of the Virginia Department of Elections website for specific information on absentee voting.
