To Register to Vote in Virginia, a Person Must

Be a United States citizen and a resident of Virginia.
Be 18 years old. (Any person who is 17 years old and will be 18 at the next general election shall be permitted to register in advance and also vote in any intervening primary or special election.)
Have had voting rights restored if have ever been convicted of a felony.
Have had capacity restored if ever declared mentally incapacitated in a Circuit Court.

Consult the Secretary of the Commonwealth's web site for information on restoration of civil rights or contact Virginia Cares at New River Community Action, 382-6186.

The State Board of Elections has approved new voter residency rules that state that residency "shall broadly be construed to provide the greatest opportunity to register and vote." Under the rules, "a college student does not need specific intent to stay in the college jurisdiction beyond graduation." The rules are not official until after Justice Department approval, but they may be used as guidelines for local registrars. The rules are on the State Board of Elections web site.

The Registrar will send a Voter Card showing the correct place for voting. Contact the Registrar in the County or City where you registered if the card is not received.

Call the Registrar at (540) 382-5741 for information on how to register to vote in another state, or how to register after the deadline if you are away in active military duty.
