Text PWCVOTES to 94253 for official 2021 Election updates

While it may feel like we just finished with elections, in Virginia, it is time to once again exercise your right to vote! Election day for primaries is June 8; early voting is already underway. Please note that the Virginia Republican Party is holding its primaries for statewide seats outside of the state sytem, with a convention on May 8, 2021. Learn more. General elections take place Tuesday, November 2, 2021.

With the ongoing pandemic, a little planning goes a long this election season. Consider voting early now either in-person or by mail. (Any County resident can vote at any early voting location; find one near you.) If you vote in-person, please help protect yourself and others from the spread of COVID-19: Wear a mask over both mouth and nose, and maintain a 6-foot distance from others while waiting in line.
