2. Know What’s On the Ballot

June 23 is a Republican Party primary election for U.S. Senate. Before Election Day, review the sample ballot to help you make informed choices at the voting booth.

• Voters in Virginia do not register by political party, so any person registered to vote in Alexandria may vote in the June 23 Republican primary election.

• Election officials are not permitted to provide information about candidates.

• There is no Democratic Party primary election, since only one candidate qualified for the ballot.

3. Wear a Cloth Face Covering or Surgical Mask  

Per the Executive Order 63, face coverings must be worn in all indoor public settings, including polling places.

4. Bring Your Valid Photo ID

Virginia voters must show photo identification (ID) when voting in person. Examples of acceptable ID include: a Virginia driver's license, United States passport, military photo ID, employee photo ID, or student photo ID. You can review the complete list of acceptable identification at the Virginia Department of Elections website.

• Voters who do not have an acceptable ID may receive a free Voter Photo ID from Alexandria's Voter Registration & Elections Office (132 N. Royal St., Suite 100), which is open Monday through 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 cast a provisional ballot and have until noon on Friday, June 26, to deliver a copy of their photo ID to the Voter Registration Office or appear in person to apply for a free Voter Photo ID Card.

5. Don't Be Late

Voting locations will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters must be in line by 7 p.m. to vote at their assigned voting location.
