2. CHECK YOUR POLLING PLACE

If you vote on Election Day, June 8, you must do so at your designated polling place between 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Be sure to confirm the location and your registration at vote.elections.virginia.gov before you go. You may also call the Office of Voter Registration and Elections at 703.746.4050.

3. KNOW WHAT'S ON THE BALLOT

The June 8 Democratic primary election includes contests for Virginia Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, House of Delegates (45th District), Mayor, and City Council. Review the sample ballot to help you make informed choices at the voting booth. Election officials are not permitted to provide information about candidates. Please research your choices before arriving at the polling place.

4. BRING YOUR ID

Virginia voters should show identification (ID) prior to voting. Examples of acceptable ID include: a Virginia driver's license, voter confirmation documents, United States passport, military photo ID, employee photo ID or student ID. Review the complete list of acceptable forms of identification at the Virginia Department of Elections website. Voters who arrive at the polling place without an acceptable ID may sign an ID confirmation statement and vote routinely.

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.

7. VIEW THE UNOFFICIAL RESULTS

After the polls close, Alexandria election officials will begin posting unofficial results on the Virginia Department of Elections website.

During the weeks following the election, state and local Electoral Boards will canvass the results, make any necessary adjustments and certify the official results.
