Important Info From Delegate Price:
I've had some emails and calls with really good questions about Election Day and sometimes it's the "not knowing" that keeps folks from participating. So let's make sure everyone knows what to do for Election Day!
Here are some highlights:
-Election Day is November 5th. Polls are open from 6am-7pm. Your polling location or precinct is based on where you live. You can find out your polling location in your own Citizen Portal. Go to http://bit.ly/CitizenPortalVA type in your name, date of birth, last four of your social, and the city or county where you are registered. Once you go there, you can see your polling location and the address.
-Absentee voting is when you vote before election day because you have a valid excuse. You can do this by mail or in-person. For absentee voting, you can apply to have a ballot mailed to you by logging in to your citizen portal (above) and clicking the box that says request an absentee ballot. Please note that you have to give a valid excuse to be eligible for this. Some reasons may be traveling on Election Day, long work hours, being a caregiver, being ill, etc. To vote in-person absentee, you can visit your local voter registrar's office to apply and vote at the same time. For more info, visit http://bit.ly/AbsenteeVoteVA
-You need photo ID in order to vote in VA. Some examples of valid photo ID are your VA driver’s license or DMV-issued state ID, US Passport, employer-issued photo ID, and Student photo ID issued by a VA school. IF you don't have any of the valid IDs, you can get a VA Voter ID for FREE from your local Voter Registrar's office.
-Your NN and Hampton Ballots will include three races: State Senate, House of Delegates, and Clerk of Court. Your HOUSE District number may have changed in the #757 or #804 due to redistricting. You can go to your Citizen Portal above to see what your district is or visit VPAP to see more info about your districts. Go to https://www.vpap.org/ type in your address and see more information.
-Other cities and counties have different races in addition to the House and Senate races. You can go here to look up your location and see what all is on your ballot: https://www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-…/candidate-list/
-If you are over 60 years old, live in Newport News or Hampton, and don't have any other transportation to the polls, the Peninsula Agency on Aging is working with Yellow Cab to provide rides. You do need to register by Nov 4th in order to get the ride on Nov 5th. Some restrictions apply - call (757) 873-0541 for more info.
-Does your vote matter? YES! There is no Electoral College for the elections on November 5th. Each vote counts but only the ones that are cast! The General Assembly (House & Senate) decide so many things that impact your everyday life, it is a very important election. If you or anyone you know wants to discuss this further, please call me.
-Don't assume that everyone in your life is aware of the above info. Please share it and make sure everyone is ready for November 5th!
-Have questions? Email me at DelMPrice@House.Virginia.Gov or call us at 757-266-5935
