What is the Deadline for Registering to Vote?
For a general or a primary election, the deadline to register to vote is the 22

a primary or general election. If you are registering by mail, your application must be
postmarked no later than that date. The deadline is shorter for special elections.
Registrars offices are open until 5:00 p.m. on the final day of registration before an
election if you are registering in person. An application submitted online will be timely if
completed by 11:59 p.m. on the deadline day.
The registration deadline for the November 4, 2014 general election is Tuesday October
14, 2014 (the day after the Columbus Day holiday).
Note: Absent military and overseas citizens and their families may be eligible to register late
under certain circumstances. These voters should access specialized information provided
by the Virginia Department of Elections and Federal Voting Assistance Program websites
(fvap.gov).

How Do I Know if Im Already Registered?
You only need to register once to vote in the elections in your jurisdiction. However, if
you move your residence, you need to update your registration record with your new
address.
There are three convenient ways to check your registration status and whether your
record is correct:
1. You can check online at www.elections.virginia.gov. Click on Check Your Voter
Information in the blue box in the center of the page.
2. You can call the Department of Elections:
Toll Free: (800)552-9745
TTY: (800)260-3466.
3. You can contact the Voter Registrar in the city or county where you live (see
Registrar Contact Information at the end of this guide or, look up voter
registration in the phonebook for your county or city.).

How Do I Register if I Have No Fixed Address?
If you have no fixed or permanent address, you can still register to vote!
1. In the mailing address section of the voter application, write the address of an
agency where you receive services, or any other address where you are allowed
to receive mail.
2. In the residence address section of the application, write the location where you
most often spend the night, even if it is not a traditional address.


3

How Do I Register if I Have More Than One Address?
Register in the city or county you consider to be your legal residence. This would be the
place you consider to be your fixed, permanent home.
If you are unsure which city our county is your legal residence, contact the Voter
Registrar (see Registrar Contact Information at the end of this guide) for either place
you could consider your legal residence. That registrar will help you determine where
you should register to vote.
Note that it is illegal to be registered to vote in more than one city or county in Virginia,
or more than one state in the U.S.

How Do I Report Changes in my Name or Address?
It is very important to keep your name and address up to date so that you can vote in
every election.
There are two convenient ways to update your voter registration:
1. If you have a drivers license or a DMV-issued ID card, you can update your
registration information online at www.elections.virginia.gov. Click on Check
Your Voter Information in the blue box in the center of the page.
2. You can submit your change in name or address in writing to your local registrar
(see Registrar Contact Information at the end of this guide). You can submit
your change by mail, fax, or e-mail attachment.
You must sign the writing. If you are physically unable to sign the writing,
you may use a mark (such as an x) if it is acknowledged by a witness.

I Was Not Allowed to Register
An applicant denied registration has the right to appeal to the circuit court within ten days.
24.2-422. The applicant must pay a $10 filing fee. Registrars are required to send each
applicant denied registration a letter notifying them of the denial with information about the
applicants appeal right. The general registrar is represented by the Commonwealths Attorney
in the appeal.

If you are eligible to vote absentee (see diagram above), there are two convenient ways
for you to obtain an absentee ballot application:
1. Visit www.elections.virginia.gov and click on the orange Absentee Voting box
on the right side of the page and follow the instructions.
2. Request an absentee ballot application from your Voter Registrar (see Registrar
Contact Information at the end of this guide).
You may complete the application at your Voter Registrars office, or you may send it to
your Voter Registrar by mail, fax, or e-mail attachment (see Registrar Contact
Information at the end of this guide).
If applying for an absentee ballot by mail, you must submit your application by the
Tuesday before the election. Your voted mail-in absentee ballot must be received by
your Electoral Board by Election Day or it cannot be counted.
If applying for and voting an absentee ballot in the Registrars office, you must

If you are registering in person, you must wait five days for your absentee
application to be processed.
Voters who register by mail may not be eligible to vote absentee by mail the first time
they vote in Virginia; this vote in person requirement has exceptions, students attending
college away from home for example may both register and vote absentee by mail, and
the registrar will include a notice with the absentee ballot to include a copy of acceptable
identification. Please call your local voting official or check the Department of Elections
website for details about identification acceptable for this purpose (see Registrar
Contact Information at the end of this guide).

I am Serving in the Military and/or Overseas
For voting purposes, federal law assigns U.S. citizens deployed or living overseas to a
specific state based on where the voter lived before going overseas. If you are away
from home serving in the military or reside overseas, you, your spouse and dependents
residing with you have certain protections under Virginias Uniform and Military Overseas
Voters Act (UMOVA) and the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting
Act (UOCAVA). You may qualify while away from home if:
You a U.S. citizen who is a member of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast
Guard, Merchant Marines, or the commissioned corps of the Public Health
Service or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
You are a U.S. citizen who is the spouse or dependent of a member of the Army,
Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, or the commissioned
corps of the Public Health Service or National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration.
You are a U.S. citizen who currently resides outside the United States either
permanently or temporarily (Virginia must have been your last U.S. residence or

8

the last residence of your parent or legal guardian. Employment information is
required to vote in nonfederal elections).
If any of these apply to you, you can identify yourself as a covered military or overseas
voter by registering to vote and requesting an absentee ballot using a Federal Post Card
Application (FCPA). You can fill out and print this application from
http://www.fvap.gov/uploads/FVAP/Forms/fpca2013.pdf
Please register to vote and request your absentee ballot early. We recommend
registering to vote and requesting your absentee ballot no later than 90 days
before the election, if possible.
Each state has different Absentee Voting guidelines. For Virginias, visit
http://www.fvap.gov/vao/vag/chapter2/virginia
You can access general information at http://www.fvap.gov/
If you need assistance, please contact the Virginia Department of Elections Information
center:
E-mail: info@elections.virginia.gov
Phone: (804) 864-8901
Toll Free: (800) 552-9745
TTY: (800) 260-3466

I am a College Student Living Away From Home
A voter may only register in one place, which means that college students who still
consider themselves residents of their home city or county should register to vote there,
and not the city or county where they go to school.
A student should register where he or she attends school only if he or she considers that
locality as his or her primary home and residence. A student attending college away
from home can vote absentee.
If you have questions, you may contact your local registrar or the Department of
Elections.
Most colleges and universities offer voter registration and absentee ballot information
through their Student Services office.

I Need an Emergency Absentee Ballot
Late absentee application is permitted up to 2:00 p.m. on the Monday before the election
for those recently hospitalized and for those with certain other business or personal
emergencies. Call your Voter Registrar (see Registrar Contact Information at the end
of this guide) to ask about your voting options.


9

I am in Jail Awaitng Trial or for Misdemeanor Conviction
You can register and request to vote absentee by mail if you are confined for a
misdemeanor or because you are awaiting trial.
If you are confined in the city or county in which you vote and are otherwise qualified,
you have a right to be taken to the polls if you did not have the opportunity to vote
absentee.


10

4. Voting on Election Day

When are the Polls Open?
All polling places are open from 6:00 am to 7:00 p.m. on Election Day. You are entitled
to vote if you are in line by 7:00 pm on Election Day.

What Do I Need to Bring to the Polls?
You will need to bring an acceptable form of photo identification. See the Voter ID,
section above.

How Do I Find My Polling Place?
There are three ways to find your polling place:
Your polling place name and address are listed on the voter information card you
received in the mail. Note: Your voter information card does not qualify as photo
identification.
You can contact your local registrar (see Registrar Contact Information at the
end of this guide).
You can go to www.elections.virginia.gov, click on Where to Vote in the middle
of the page below the blue box, then follow the instructions.
Sample Ballots
A sample ballot is a copy of the official ballot made for either educational or political
purposes. Sample ballots may be produced by Electoral Boards, political parties, political
committees, and citizens.
ONLY ballots printed on white or yellow paper are official, unbiased and complete ballots
printed by the Electoral Board.
Every sample ballot must clearly state who authorized or paid for it. Many sample ballots
in colors other than white or yellow are meant to persuade you to vote a certain way.
You may be offered one of these ballots on your way to the polling place.
The Electoral Board is required to post the Official Sample Ballot at each polling place
on Election Day. Please do not hesitate to ask an election officer to show you a sample
ballot.

11

I Need Someone to Demonstrate How to Use the Voting Equipment
You are entitled to a demonstration of the voting equipment. There is a demonstration
officer at your polling place who is there to help you with the machines. Please feel free
to ask him or her for assistance.

Can My Child Watch Me Vote?
Your minor child, 15 years or younger, may go with you into the voting booth.

I Have a Disability or Mobility Issues
All elections are required to be accessible to persons with disabilities. This includes
both accessibility to the polling place and devices to make the voting machine
accessible.
You may wish to consider voting absentee by mail or in person before election day to
avoid standing in lines.
If you have a disability, you can help assure your right to vote by contacting your
registrar before Election Day to discuss your particular needs (see Registrar Contact
Information at the end of this guide).
Anyone who assists you in voting must do so according to your instructions, without
trying to influence your vote. Your assistant is strictly prohibited from in any way telling
others how you voted.
NOTE: No voter is required to accept assistance.
The following are options for overcoming accessibility issues:
Before Election Day, you may request an Absentee Ballot (see Absentee section
above).
You may vote from your car. All polling places are required to offer curbside
voting to anyone who has a physical disability or who is 65 years or older. You
may need to send someone inside the polling place to request curbside voting
unless your precinct has a lookout or other mechanism in place to alert the
officers of election inside. Calling ahead of time with the approximate time of
your arrival can help.
You may request an audio ballot. You will be given a set of headphones and
the ballot will be read aloud to you. Audio ballots are available at all polling
places.
If you are blind, you may have anyone assist you with your ballot.
If you are not blind but need assistance with your ballot, you may have anyone
assist you EXCEPT your employer or union representative.




12

I Cannot Read or Speak English Well
Persons who cannot read or write English or with limited English proficiency may request
assistance in voting. Fairfax County is the only locality in Virginia subject to the Voting
Rights Act bilingual elections requirement for Spanish. Voters in other localities or
languages other than Spanish in Fairfax County may receive language assistance from
a translator they provide or volunteers.
If you need assistance with your ballot, you may have anyone assist you EXCEPT your
employer or union representative.

I Need Assistance Filling out My Ballot
Anyone who assists you in voting must do so according to your instructions, without
trying to influence your vote. Your assistant is strictly prohibited from in any way telling
others how you voted.
NOTE: No voter is required to accept assistance.
If you are blind, you may have anyone assist you with your ballot.
If you are not blind but need assistance with your ballot, you may have anyone assist
you EXCEPT your employer or union representative.

Do I Have to Vote for Every Office or Question on the Ballot?
You do not have to vote for every question on the ballot. For instance, in a local election,
if you are only interested in voting for a school board member, you do not have to vote
for any of the candidates for mayor. Your vote for the school board member will still be
counted.

How Do I Cast a Write-In Vote?
Write-in votes are permitted in all elections except primaries.
Please follow the write-in instructions provided with each voting system
On paper ballots, write the name of the candidate of your choice on the blank
space provided for write-in votes
On DRE machines or optical scan ballots, follow the instructions to write in the
name of the candidate of your choice
DO NOT write in the name of a candidate who already appears on the ballot, or your
vote will not be counted.
Please ask an election official if you need assistance with write-in procedures.


13

Avoiding Overvoting
An overvote occurs when you cast more votes than are allowed for the office or issue
o For example, if you vote for 2 people for governor instead of one, neither vote will
count.
o However, if you are allowed to vote for three school board members, and you
vote for three people, that is not an overvote.
Please read over your ballot carefully to ensure you do not overvote.
An optical scanner will reject your ballot if you overvote, and an election official will offer
you a new one.
A touch screen electronic machine will not allow you to overvote.

I Think I Made a Mistake on My Ballot
If you made a mistake on your ballot, you must change your vote BEFORE your ballot is
cast
o If you are using an electronic machine, you can change your vote before you
press or select cast ballot.
o If you are using a paper ballot and have not placed your ballot in an official ballot
container, ask an election official to void your spoiled ballot and to give you a
new ballot
Once your ballot is cast, it CANNOT be changed, even if you made a mistake.

Is My Vote Secure?
A voting machine can only record your vote, not your name or any identifying features.
No one can tell how you voted based on your submitted ballot. If an assistant helped you
vote, he or she is not permitted to tell anyone how you voted.
All voting machines in Virginia are rigorously tested and certified to be accurate and
secure before being authorized for use in Virginia and prior to each election.

14

I Voted a Provisional Ballot
Provisional ballots are used when:
o a persons registration status cannot be verified either by the election officer or
the voter registrar.
o a registered voter has not shown the required ID
o a court orders the polls to stay open past their normal closing time
A person is permitted to vote in these situations to give them the opportunity to satisfy
legal requirements in time for the provisional ballot to be counted.
The decision of whether to count the provisional vote is made by the local electoral
board in the days after the election. If you cast a provisional ballot, you will be given
notice of the time and place of the Electoral Boards meeting, and a toll-free number to
check the status of your ballot.
o You have the right to be present when the Electoral Board makes its decision
about whether to count your provisional ballot.
o You may request an extension up to one business day
o If you voted a provisional ballot because you did not present the required ID, you
have until noon on Friday after the election to provide a copy of your required ID.
Provisional ballots are also used when a court order the polls to stay open past their
normal closing time. This has never happened in Virginia. Provisional ballots are used
in case the order extending voting time is reversed by a higher court.

15

5. Your Rights and Responsibilities as a Voter
Virginia Voter Rights
As a Virginia voter you have the right to:
o Be notified of whether your voter registration application has been accepted or

how to use the voting equipment, have a disability or are unable to read or write.
