The office is open the last two Saturdays before the election. If you miss Early Voting you can still cast a ballot at your designated voting location on Election Day (Tuesday 11/5).

For more information: https://www.charlottesville.gov/431/Early-Voting

Three great reasons to do Early Voting:

  1. Avoid potentially long lines on Election Day!
  2. Once you vote you’ll stop getting emails, texts, and door knocks from the campaigns!!
  3. You’ll know that your vote will be counted (no complications from illness, travel, etc.)

We’ve updated our website with the latest Voting and Voter Registration info: check it out to learn how to register to vote, what your voting options are, how to find your polling location, and more!

NOTE: If you miss Early Voting for any reason, you can still vote at your precinct voting location on Election Day (11/5).

Voter Registration Update

Kudos to our Voter Registration team, which has registered more than 600 voters so far! Some 260 volunteers have  signed up to work, and 30 are regulars. Some people are doing registration work on their own, giving sheets back to Suzanne Michels for follow up. Two recent events yielded great results – the Charlottesville Pride Festival was incredible (40), and the Sabroso Festival also very good (10).

The voter registration team is scurrying to register UVA students in a variety of ways, both on grounds and on the Corner, and will start contacting those they’ve registered to help them make a voting plan. Contact Suzanne if you’d like to help with that very local phone bank: suzemichels@gmail.com.

Thank you, volunteers!!
