For Immediate Release: February 10, 2020
The voter registration deadline for Virginia's March 3 Democratic Party Presidential Primary is February 10. Any eligible U.S. citizen who will be 18 years old by November 3, 2020, is eligible to register and vote in this primary. Voters in Virginia do not register by political party.
There is no Republican Party Presidential Primary this year. Instead, the Republican Party will hold a statewide convention in the spring.
