• U.S. Senate
• U.S. House of Representatives
• Proposed Amendment to the Virginia Constitution
  

3.  Vote Absentee if You Can’t Get to the Polls on Election Day

Don’t let a long commute, business trip, vacation, disability or illness put your right to vote at risk. Saturday, November 1, at 5 p.m. is the deadline to vote in-person absentee. Alexandria has two sites open for absentee voting on Saturday:

• Alexandria Voter Registration Office (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), 132 North Royal Street

4.  Make Sure You Have Photo ID

Virginia voters must show an acceptable form of photo identification when voting, for example a Virginia Driver’s License, US Passport, or Military ID. You can review the complete list of acceptable ID at https://www.alexandriava.gov/Elections,

Voters who do not have one of these IDs may apply for a free Voter Photo ID Card from Alexandria’s Voter Registration Office. All voters who apply for this free ID will receive a Temporary ID which they may use to vote in their precinct on Election Day. The Office is open Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m, and on Election Day from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Voters who do not bring a photo ID when voting may still vote a provisional ballot. They have until noon on November 7 to 1) deliver a copy of their photo ID to the Voter Registration Office or 2) appear in-person at the office to apply for a free Voter Photo ID Card and request a Temporary ID to meet the ID requirement for the November election.
