Early voting in Virginia's June primaries underway

66 of Virginia’s 133 cities and counties, including Richmond and the surrounding area, are holding a primary election for at least one office, according to the Virginia Department of Elections.

Early in-person voting will run through Saturday, June 17, with Election Day set for Tuesday, June 20. Voters in every jurisdiction can show identification to cast an early vote at their local general registrar’s office, with some localities offering additional early voting sites as well.

Friday was also the first day that absentee ballots were to be mailed to voters who already requested them. Absentee ballots, which can be requested until June 9, can be returned by mail or dropped off at a general registrar’s office or at polling locations on Election Day; ballots returned by mail must be postmarked no later than Election Day.

Those wishing to register to vote or update an existing registration must do so by May 30 to be eligible to vote in June primaries.

Voters with questions about absentee or early in-person voting are encouraged to call their general registrar’s office or contact the Virginia Department of Elections by phone at (800) 552-9745 or by email at info@elections.virginia.gov.
