- Find out if you are registered to vote.
- Register to vote.
- Apply to vote absentee.
- Find the dates of upcoming primary and general elections in Virginia.
- Locate a listing of the names and party affiliations of candidates for each election.

REDISTRICTING FOLLOWING THE 2020 CENSUS
On February 12, 2021, the U.S. Census Bureau announced that it would deliver redistricting data to the states by September 30, 2021. This triggered enforcement a constitutional amendment providing for the retention of current district maps if the census bureau failed to deliver redistricting data to the states by February 15, 2021. Consequently, new maps will not be used in the 2021 election cycle.
