Where
do I register?
You may register in any
voter registrar's office in Virginia or at special registration
sites open at night and on weekends. Voter registration may also
take place at offices of the Department of Motor Vehicles when
you apply for, replace, or renew a driver's license or a special
identification card or when you change your address on your existing
driver's license or special identification card.
When do I register?
You may register any
time of the year. To vote in a general or primary election,
you must register at least 29 days before the election. To
vote in a special election, you must register at least 13 days
before the election.
When do general elections take place?
For most offices,
general elections are held on the Tuesday following the first
Monday in November. For city and town offices, however, general
elections take place the first Tuesday in May.
