Josh Throneburg-Bob Good Candidates Forum– Wednesday night 7pm on October 26th at Hampden-Sydney College’s Crawley Forum building. Space is extremely limited, so most of us will be watching remotely: you can stream it from Josh’s campaign website or look for it WSET (Lynchburg ABC 13). Note: if the Campaign announces anything special (watch parties??) for the debate last-minute we’ll let everyone know through our website, Twitter, Facebook, and email. Be thinking about undecided voters who you/we might invite to watch with you/us!

The main business of the meeting will be pulling together all of our energies and organization to get Josh Throneberg across the finish line victorious! We’ll also provide some updates on voting-reform issues such as proposals for ranked-choice voting, as well as the urgent business of the Governor’s destructive policies on (1) transgender students in public schools and (2) withdrawal from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).

Voter Registration and Voter Information (updated information)

Posted on

  1. After regular voter registration ends on October 17, people living in Charlottesville who are eligible to become Virginia voters can, from 10/18-11/5, go to the Registrar’s Office (City Hall Annex, 7th St. NE off of Market St.) to register to vote and cast a provisional ballot.
  2. Even on Election Day (11/ 8) itself, they can go to their mailing address-based polling place, fill out a voter registration application form, and cast a provisional ballot (to find the right polling place, refer to the updated webpage above or call the Voter Registration Office at 434-970-3250).
These are important changes, please spread the word!
