EARLY VOTING: Sept 18 – Oct 31

September 18, 2020 - October 31, 2020

VOTE EARLY

Friday, Sept. 18 – Saturday, Oct. 31, 2020

You may consult the Virginia Voter Guide for a thorough run-down of voting information.

Don’t want to bother with a mail-in ballot? Worried about waiting in line on November 3. Feel comfortable masking up and venturing out in person?  Virginians can vote early at their local registrar’s office.

Albemarle residents can vote early at Albemarle County Office of Voter Registration and Elections, 1600 5th St. Dems outside of Albemarle County can look up their nearest office online.

The office will be open for voting from September 18 – October 31, 2020.

      • Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays: 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
      • Tuesdays: 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
      • Thursdays: 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

For the last two Saturdays before the election — Oct. 24 and Oct. 31 — the office will be open for voting from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Wear a mask and bring one form of ID.

Photo IDs still work, but the following are also examples of acceptable IDs:

  • Voter confirmation documents you received after you registered to vote
  • Virginia DMV-issued Driver’s License or Identification Card
  • Valid United States Passport
  • Any ID card issued by the US, Virginia, or a local Virginia government
  • Any student ID card issued by a US university or community college
  • Valid student ID issued by a public school or private school in Virginia
  • Employer-issued photo ID card
  • Any current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or any other government document with your name and address.

Just a reminder, if you have or have requested a mail-in ballot and are anxious to return it in-person, there is a secure drop-off box for mail-in ballots at the Albemarle County Election Office (aka the registrar’s office) that is open 24/7.

On Election Day, polling place drop-offs will be available during the hours that each polling place is open. You’re not required to show ID when you drop off your sealed, completed mail-in ballot.

***Before you drop it in the box, please make sure that your ballot is sealed not only in Envelope B, but also inside the provided return envelope you’d use if you were mailing it in. Your vote will still count even if you don’t, but that envelope contains a bar code that helps officials verify your identity and cast your ballot more quickly.
