Early voting begins today (the 19th) and runs until November 1st ahead of the Virginia election on November 4th. Early voting is available in person at a polling place or by mail. Absentee ballot applications are open until October 20th, and the deadline for mail-in voting is October 24th. If you haven’t registered to vote before, you must register by October 24th. This election will elect the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and 100 members of the state House of Representatives.
Both parties are running for governor, heralding the election of the first female governor. Despite being a local election, it is attracting national attention as it precedes next year’s midterm elections.
Early voting locations will be set up at Fairfax County Government Complex, North County Government Complex, and Mount Vernon Government Complex, with locations expanding to public libraries, community centers, and other locations starting on the 23rd of next month.
