RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — There is only one day remaining to register for the upcoming primary elections in Virginia. However, a new Virginia voting system will mean you’ll still have a chance to vote even if you miss it.
Virginia now has “same day registration,” meaning residents who are eligible to vote can register to vote in person on a provisional ballot. More information on same day registration can be found at the Virginia Department of Elections website.
According to the Virginia Department of Elections, the deadline to register for a primary election is 22 days before election day. With this year’s primaries for the Virginia House of Delegates, Senate of Virginia and local offices taking place June 20, that means Tuesday, May 30 is the last day to register.
The deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot is June 9 and the last day of in-person early voting is Saturday, June 17. Registrar’s offices close at 5 p.m.
