For Immediate Release: June 11, 2020
The City of Alexandria encourages absentee voting by mail for the June 23 Republican Party primary election for U.S. Senate. Voters in Virginia do not register by party, so any person registered to vote in Alexandria may vote in the election. There is no Democratic primary election on June 23, since only one candidate qualified for the ballot.
Due to COVID-19, all voters are eligible to vote absentee. Voters may choose reason “2A (My disability or illness)” when applying for an absentee ballot.
Absentee voting by mail is encouraged. For voters who wish to absentee vote by mail, the application must be received by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 16, in the Alexandria Voter Registration Office.
Apply online at vote.elections.virginia.gov
Apply by mail, fax or email using the application (and instructions) on the City's Elections page, or by requesting an application from the Alexandria Voter Registration Office at 703.746.4050
Voters who wish to cast their absentee ballots in person must complete their ballot applications at the Office of Voter Registration and Elections (132 N. Royal St., Suite 100). The deadline for casting an absentee ballot in person is Saturday, June 20, at 5 p.m.
In-person absentee voting hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., with extended hours on the following days:
Wednesday, June 17, 8 a.m.-8 p.m.
Saturday, June 20, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
In order to promote physical distancing, voters should remain in their vehicles or outside the office and call 703.746.4050 or press the call button. Staff will begin the curbside absentee voting process. The accessible ballot marking device will be available inside the office for voters who require assistance in marking their ballot and choose not to use an assistant.
