This message is from the officers of the Charlottesville Democratic Party

As we start the year, we look forward to seeing the fruits of our labor as a new bluer General Assembly takes action on our vision. We also look forward to working with all of you to bring these positive changes to reality for our nation in November.

Please help spread the word that all 17 year old’s who will turn 18 by November 3, 2020 are eligible to vote in the Presidential (March 3) and Congressional (June 9) primaries.

The registration deadline for the Presidential primary is February 10, 2020.
Early in-person starts January 18, 2020.

Anyone who wants to help register voters, even if they have been trained before, needs to get retrained each year, with the year running from July 1- June 30.

The online training video by the Department of Elections was recently updated:

Anyone who’s eager to get themselves re-certified can jump on it as soon as they have time to watch the video and take the “quiz” at the end.
