5 What is the Deadline for Registering to Vote? For a general or a primary election, the deadline to register to vote is the 22 nd day before a primary or general election. If you are registering by mail, your application must be postmarked no later than that date. The deadline is shorter for special elections. Registrar s offices are open until 5:00 p.m. on the final day of registration before an election if you are registering in person. An application submitted online will be timely if completed by 11:59 p.m. on the deadline day. The registration deadline for the November 4, 2014 general election is Tuesday October 14, 2014 (the day after the Columbus Day holiday). Note: Absent military and overseas citizens and their families may be eligible to register late under certain circumstances. These voters should access specialized information provided by the Virginia Department of Elections and Federal Voting Assistance Program websites (fvap.gov). How Do I Know if I m Already Registered? You only need to register once to vote in the elections in your jurisdiction. However, if you move your residence, you need to update your registration record with your new address. There are three convenient ways to check your registration status and whether your record is correct: 1. You can check online at Click on Check Your Voter Information in the blue box in the center of the page. 2. You can call the Department of Elections: Toll Free: (800) TTY: (800) You can contact the Voter Registrar in the city or county where you live (see Registrar Contact Information at the end of this guide or, look up voter registration in the phonebook for your county or city.). How Do I Register if I Have No Fixed Address? If you have no fixed or permanent address, you can still register to vote! 1. In the mailing address section of the voter application, write the address of an agency where you receive services, or any other address where you are allowed to receive mail. 2. In the residence address section of the application, write the location where you most often spend the night, even if it is not a traditional address. 2

6 How Do I Register if I Have More Than One Address? Register in the city or county you consider to be your legal residence. This would be the place you consider to be your fixed, permanent home. If you are unsure which city our county is your legal residence, contact the Voter Registrar (see Registrar Contact Information at the end of this guide) for either place you could consider your legal residence. That registrar will help you determine where you should register to vote. Note that it is illegal to be registered to vote in more than one city or county in Virginia, or more than one state in the U.S. How Do I Report Changes in my Name or Address? It is very important to keep your name and address up to date so that you can vote in every election. There are two convenient ways to update your voter registration: 1.

10 How Do I Vote Absentee? If you are eligible to vote absentee (see diagram above), there are two convenient ways for you to obtain an absentee ballot application: 1. Visit and click on the orange Absentee Voting box on the right side of the page and follow the instructions. 2. Request an absentee ballot application from your Voter Registrar (see Registrar Contact Information at the end of this guide). You may complete the application at your Voter Registrar s office, or you may send it to your Voter Registrar by mail, fax, or attachment (see Registrar Contact Information at the end of this guide). If applying for an absentee ballot by mail, you must submit your application by the Tuesday before the election. Your voted mail-in absentee ballot must be received by your Electoral Board by Election Day or it cannot be counted. If applying for and voting an absentee ballot in the Registrar s office, you must apply and vote by the Saturday before the Election. If you are registering in person, you must wait five days for your absentee application to be processed. Voters who register by mail may not be eligible to vote absentee by mail the first time they vote in Virginia; this vote in person requirement has exceptions, students attending college away from home for example may both register and vote absentee by mail, and the registrar will include a notice with the absentee ballot to include a copy of acceptable identification. Please call your local voting official or check the Department of Elections website for details about identification acceptable for this purpose (see Registrar Contact Information at the end of this guide). I am Serving in the Military and/or Overseas For voting purposes, federal law assigns U.S. citizens deployed or living overseas to a specific state based on where the voter lived before going overseas. If you are away from home serving in the military or reside overseas, you, your spouse and dependents residing with you have certain protections under Virginia s Uniform and Military Overseas Voters Act (UMOVA) and the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA). You may qualify while away from home if: You a U.S. citizen who is a member of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, or the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. You are a U.S. citizen who is the spouse or dependent of a member of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, or the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. You are a U.S. citizen who currently resides outside the United States either permanently or temporarily (Virginia must have been your last U.S. residence or 7

11 the last residence of your parent or legal guardian. Employment information is required to vote in nonfederal elections). If any of these apply to you, you can identify yourself as a covered military or overseas voter by registering to vote and requesting an absentee ballot using a Federal Post Card Application (FCPA). You can fill out and print this application from Please register to vote and request your absentee ballot early. We recommend registering to vote and requesting your absentee ballot no later than 90 days before the election, if possible. Each state has different Absentee Voting guidelines. For Virginia s, visit You can access general information at If you need assistance, please contact the Virginia Department of Elections Information center: info@elections.virginia.gov Phone: (804) Toll Free: (800) TTY: (800) I am a College Student Living Away From Home A voter may only register in one place, which means that college students who still consider themselves residents of their home city or county should register to vote there, and not the city or county where they go to school. A student should register where he or she attends school only if he or she considers that locality as his or her primary home and residence. A student attending college away from home can vote absentee. If you have questions, you may contact your local registrar or the Department of Elections. Most colleges and universities offer voter registration and absentee ballot information through their Student Services office. I Need an Emergency Absentee Ballot Late absentee application is permitted up to 2:00 p.m. on the Monday before the election for those recently hospitalized and for those with certain other business or personal emergencies. Call your Voter Registrar (see Registrar Contact Information at the end of this guide) to ask about your voting options. 8

12 I am in Jail Awaitng Trial or for Misdemeanor Conviction You can register and request to vote absentee by mail if you are confined for a misdemeanor or because you are awaiting trial. If you are confined in the city or county in which you vote and are otherwise qualified, you have a right to be taken to the polls if you did not have the opportunity to vote absentee. 9

13 4. Voting on Election Day When are the Polls Open? All polling places are open from 6:00 am to 7:00 p.m. on Election Day. You are entitled to vote if you are in line by 7:00 pm on Election Day. What Do I Need to Bring to the Polls? You will need to bring an acceptable form of photo identification. See the Voter ID, section above. How Do I Find My Polling Place? There are three ways to find your polling place: Your polling place name and address are listed on the voter information card you received in the mail. Note: Your voter information card does not qualify as photo identification. You can contact your local registrar (see Registrar Contact Information at the end of this guide). You can go to click on Where to Vote in the middle of the page below the blue box, then follow the instructions. Sample Ballots A sample ballot is a copy of the official ballot made for either educational or political purposes. Sample ballots may be produced by Electoral Boards, political parties, political committees, and citizens. ONLY ballots printed on white or yellow paper are official, unbiased and complete ballots printed by the Electoral Board. Every sample ballot must clearly state who authorized or paid for it. Many sample ballots in colors other than white or yellow are meant to persuade you to vote a certain way. You may be offered one of these ballots on your way to the polling place. The Electoral Board is required to post the Official Sample Ballot at each polling place on Election Day. Please do not hesitate to ask an election officer to show you a sample ballot. 10

14 I Need Someone to Demonstrate How to Use the Voting Equipment You are entitled to a demonstration of the voting equipment. There is a demonstration officer at your polling place who is there to help you with the machines. Please feel free to ask him or her for assistance. Can My Child Watch Me Vote? Your minor child, 15 years or younger, may go with you into the voting booth. I Have a Disability or Mobility Issues All elections are required to be accessible to persons with disabilities. This includes both accessibility to the polling place and devices to make the voting machine accessible. You may wish to consider voting absentee by mail or in person before election day to avoid standing in lines. If you have a disability, you can help assure your right to vote by contacting your registrar before Election Day to discuss your particular needs (see Registrar Contact Information at the end of this guide). Anyone who assists you in voting must do so according to your instructions, without trying to influence your vote. Your assistant is strictly prohibited from in any way telling others how you voted. NOTE: No voter is required to accept assistance. The following are options for overcoming accessibility issues: Before Election Day, you may request an Absentee Ballot (see Absentee section above). You may vote from your car. All polling places are required to offer curbside voting to anyone who has a physical disability or who is 65 years or older. You may need to send someone inside the polling place to request curbside voting unless your precinct has a lookout or other mechanism in place to alert the officers of election inside. Calling ahead of time with the approximate time of your arrival can help. You may request an audio ballot. You will be given a set of headphones and the ballot will be read aloud to you. Audio ballots are available at all polling places. If you are blind, you may have anyone assist you with your ballot. If you are not blind but need assistance with your ballot, you may have anyone assist you EXCEPT your employer or union representative. 11

15 I Cannot Read or Speak English Well Persons who cannot read or write English or with limited English proficiency may request assistance in voting. Fairfax County is the only locality in Virginia subject to the Voting Rights Act bilingual elections requirement for Spanish. Voters in other localities or languages other than Spanish in Fairfax County may receive language assistance from a translator they provide or volunteers. If you need assistance with your ballot, you may have anyone assist you EXCEPT your employer or union representative. I Need Assistance Filling out My Ballot Anyone who assists you in voting must do so according to your instructions, without trying to influence your vote. Your assistant is strictly prohibited from in any way telling others how you voted. NOTE: No voter is required to accept assistance. If you are blind, you may have anyone assist you with your ballot. If you are not blind but need assistance with your ballot, you may have anyone assist you EXCEPT your employer or union representative. Do I Have to Vote for Every Office or Question on the Ballot? You do not have to vote for every question on the ballot. For instance, in a local election, if you are only interested in voting for a school board member, you do not have to vote for any of the candidates for mayor. Your vote for the school board member will still be counted. How Do I Cast a Write-In Vote? Write-in votes are permitted in all elections except primaries. Please follow the write-in instructions provided with each voting system On paper ballots, write the name of the candidate of your choice on the blank space provided for write-in votes On DRE machines or optical scan ballots, follow the instructions to write in the name of the candidate of your choice DO NOT write in the name of a candidate who already appears on the ballot, or your vote will not be counted. Please ask an election official if you need assistance with write-in procedures. 12

16 Avoiding Overvoting An overvote occurs when you cast more votes than are allowed for the office or issue o For example, if you vote for 2 people for governor instead of one, neither vote will count. o However, if you are allowed to vote for three school board members, and you vote for three people, that is not an overvote. Please read over your ballot carefully to ensure you do not overvote. An optical scanner will reject your ballot if you overvote, and an election official will offer you a new one. A touch screen electronic machine will not allow you to overvote. I Think I Made a Mistake on My Ballot If you made a mistake on your ballot, you must change your vote BEFORE your ballot is cast o If you are using an electronic machine, you can change your vote before you press or select cast ballot. o If you are using a paper ballot and have not placed your ballot in an official ballot container, ask an election official to void your spoiled ballot and to give you a new ballot Once your ballot is cast, it CANNOT be changed, even if you made a mistake. Is My Vote Secure? A voting machine can only record your vote, not your name or any identifying features. No one can tell how you voted based on your submitted ballot. If an assistant helped you vote, he or she is not permitted to tell anyone how you voted. All voting machines in Virginia are rigorously tested and certified to be accurate and secure before being authorized for use in Virginia and prior to each election. 13

17 I Voted a Provisional Ballot Provisional ballots are used when: o a person s registration status cannot be verified either by the election officer or the voter registrar. o a registered voter has not shown the required ID o a court orders the polls to stay open past their normal closing time A person is permitted to vote in these situations to give them the opportunity to satisfy legal requirements in time for the provisional ballot to be counted. The decision of whether to count the provisional vote is made by the local electoral board in the days after the election. If you cast a provisional ballot, you will be given notice of the time and place of the Electoral Board s meeting, and a toll-free number to check the status of your ballot. o You have the right to be present when the Electoral Board makes its decision about whether to count your provisional ballot. o You may request an extension up to one business day o If you voted a provisional ballot because you did not present the required ID, you have until noon on Friday after the election to provide a copy of your required ID. Provisional ballots are also used when a court order the polls to stay open past their normal closing time. This has never happened in Virginia. Provisional ballots are used in case the order extending voting time is reversed by a higher court. 14

18 5. Your Rights and Responsibilities as a Voter Virginia Voter Rights As a Virginia voter you have the right to: o Be notified of whether your voter registration application has been accepted or denied. o Vote if you have registered at your current address at least 22 days before the election. o Receive assistance from election officials if you are unsure about any part of the election process. o Be given a demonstration of the voting equipment. o Have your vote voided before it is cast if you believe you voted incorrectly. You will be given another ballot. o Enter the name of a write-in candidate in a non-primary election. o Have your ballot brought to your vehicle if you are 65 or over, or if you have a disability. o Have an Election Official or other person help you vote if you have a disability or are unable to read or write. IMPORTANT: Anyone who helps you vote must: 1. Do so according to your instructions, 2. Not try to influence your vote, and 3. Not, in any way, tell others how you voted. o Vote a Provisional Ballot if you do not have appropriate ID with you on Election Day, and to provide a copy of an acceptable photo identification to the Electoral Board by noon on the Friday after the election. o Vote a Provisional Ballot if your status as a qualified voter is in question. o Attend the Electoral Board s provisional ballots meeting and present evidence supporting your qualifications. o Bring your child, age 15 years or younger, into the voting booth. o Vote if you are in line at 7:00 p.m. o Cast an absentee ballot if you are eligible to do so. 15

19 Voter Responsibilities As a Virginia Voter, you have the responsibility to: o Keep your voter registration information up to date o Show your photo ID at the polls (see Voter ID section).
