Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3. (Anyone in line at 7 p.m. will be allowed to vote.)
Virginia law requires all voters to provide an acceptable form of identification at the polls. Voters arriving at the polls without an acceptable form of ID will be required to either sign an ID Confirmation Statement or vote a provisional ballot. If a voter votes a provisional ballot, they will have until noon on the Friday following the election to deliver a copy of identification to their locality’s electoral board or sign an ID Confirmation Statement in order for their provisional ballot to be counted.
What if I do not have a valid ID?
If you do not have a valid ID, you can cast a provisional ballot by providing your Virginia driver's license, state identification number or the last four digits of your Social Security number. Once the information is reviewed and verified by the board of elections, your ballot will be counted.
You may need to cast a provisional ballot if your voter status is in flux. This could be because you recently moved and have not updated your voter information by the Oct. 13 deadline. For more information and scenarios which may require you to cast a provisional ballot, click here.
