How Do I Vote?

Registration:

There are four ways you can register to vote:

  • Visit the Virginia Department of Elections’ Citizen Portal to register, check your status, or update your information.

  • If you prefer, you can print, fill out, and mail or deliver a paper Voter Registration Application (PDF) to the Loudoun County Office of Elections at 750 Miller Drive SE, Suite 150, Leesburg, VA 20175 (703-777-0380).

  • You can register to vote at any Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles office, where you can also update your information.

If the deadline to register has passed, Virginia allows Same Day Voter Registration at early voting or on Election Day, which will allow you to cast a provisional ballot. You can learn more about Same Day Voter Registration on the Virginia Department of Elections website. 

Voting:

We love democracy so much here in Virginia that we hold at least one election every single year! 

There are three ways to vote, and you can choose whichever method you prefer. Each method is safe and secure.

  • Vote by mail. Vote from the comfort of your own home! You can apply for a mail-in ballot for a single election or choose to be a permanent absentee voter and you will get a ballot by mail for every election you are eligible to vote in.

  • Vote early in person. Virginia offers early in-person voting beginning 45 days before each election and ending on the Saturday preceding the election, at several locations around the county.

Vote in person on Election Day. On Election Day, you will need to vote at your regular polling place between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. You can look up your polling place if you’re not sure.
