From State Governing Board member, Ebony B. Guy:
Your vote only counts if you go to the polls, or if you have voted absentee in time. All voting ends at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, November 5. If your mailed absentee ballot has not been received by then, it will not be counted.
It’s important to make a plan. When are you going to vote? How are you getting there? Can you bring somebody with you to help them vote?
Email us at info@virginia-organizing.org with your plan!
- If you don’t have correct ID you can still get it at your local registrar’s office for free. To find out what ID will be accepted or where you can go to get one see this link.
- The polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. As long as you’re in line by 7 p.m. you can vote. To find your polling place, check here.
- If you need a ride to the polls, reach out to taxi and public transit companies in your area. Many are offering free rides for voters over 60.
- It’s too late to register for this election. You can find out if you’re registered here.
- If you’re a returning citizen, and you hope to vote next year, you can find a contact form to get your rights restored here.
- If you have any trouble at the polling place and feel you are being discriminated against, call 1-866-OUR-VOTE immediately.
Every seat in the General Assembly and many important local offices will be on our ballots this year. Don’t sit this one out.
See you at the polls,
Ebony B. Guy
State Governing Board Member
