Your personalized voter handbook for the presidential election

Can I vote early? What are the deadlines? Do I need to bring ID? Use our voter guide to find out what the rules are, where you are.

Another deadline expiring at 11:59 PM, 15 October, 2020 (Voting Registration in Virginia).

On 13 October, 2020 -- the original last day to Register to Vote in Virginia, an Internet cable was accidentally severed by a crew doing roadside utility work near Route 10.

Because of that, a Federal Judge for the Commonwealth of Virginia has extended the voter registration period until 11:59 PM EDT Tonight (15 October, 2020, Thursday).

You can go online to Register to Vote, here. If you plan on voting in person, you will need a photo Photo ID, such as a Driver’s license, or State ID, and you will have to include your ID number as part of the registration process.

(I happen to vote absentee, and don’t have a Photo ID), but because I’ve been a longtime voter, and have not moved since I first registered to vote in the state 24 years ago, the fact that the ballot is mailed to my address of record is used as my verification. There’s more info about that on the Website)

[redgoldsparks]

All of this information is from the National Conference of State Legislatures: Voting Outside the Polling Place Report, from 8/11/2020. You can see it online here.
