The November 2024 elections will see Virginians voting for president, U.S. senator, the U.S. House of Representatives and, in some places, local offices. Cardinal News’ voter guide answers common questions about how to vote and what will be on your ballot.
October 15: Deadline to register to vote if you’re not already registered. (Voters may register after this date using a provisional ballot) . Are you registered to vote? Check here .
Can I vote with an out-of-state or expired license?
Yes. If you get to your polling place without an acceptable ID, you can sign a statement affirming your identity and vote on a regular ballot, according to the Virginia Department of Elections . If your license is expired, you can still use it to vote.
How can I vote by mail in Virginia?
You can request a mail-in ballot for the primary election until October 25.
You can also request an absentee ballot up to 11 days until October 25. After October 25, only emergency absentee ballots are available until the day before the election. To qualify for an emergency absentee ballot, you need to have a serious conflict (like a work conflict, or a health issue of an immediate family member).
Polls will be open between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Tuesday Nov. 5.
If you are in line by 7 p.m., you will be allowed to vote.
Can I vote from jail in Virginia?
In many cases, yes. If you do not have a felony conviction, or if the governor has restored your right to vote after a felony conviction, you can vote – even from jail. This includes if you are being detained awaiting your court date, or are in jail for a misdemeanor conviction.
