The last day to register to vote for the 2024 Presidential Election is October 15, 2024.

If you are not already registered to vote, use one of the options below.

If you are currently registered to vote, you do not need to re-register unless you have made a change to your name or address, in which case you need to notify the Registrar in writing.

To be eligible to register to vote in Virginia, you must:

• Be a United States citizen
• Be a resident of Virginia (a person who has come to Virginia for temporary purposes and intends to return to another state is not considered a resident for voting purposes)
• Be 18 years old (any person who is 17 years old and will be 18 years old at the next general election shall be permitted to register in advance and also vote in any intervening primary or special election)
• Not be registered and plan to vote in another state
• Not currently declared mentally incompetent by a court of law
• Not convicted of a felony, unless your right to vote has been restored

If you meet these requirements you may register to vote.

The voter registration deadlines for elections are:

General Elections, 22 days prior

Primary Elections, 22 days prior

Special Elections, 14 days prior

Special Elections called by Governor, 7 days prior

Virginia now also allows for same day voter registration. If you fail to register by the deadline, you may complete a registration application and vote a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots provide a way for you to vote until your registration eligibility can be confirmed. The local Electoral Board will determine your eligibility and if your ballot can be counted.
