EARLY VOTING IS AVAILABLE IN VIRGINA.

MAKE A PLAN. SHARE YOUR PLAN.

Whether you choose to vote early, vote by mail, or in-person, it’s imperative that you make a plan to vote and encourage your family and friends to make one too. You have options to make voting safe and convenient for you. Use our voting resources to get information on when, where, and how to vote.

We’re not just voting for members of Congress every two years, but candidates for the state legislature, city council, boards of education, and judgeships—people who will make decisions about who has access to reproductive health care, protecting voting rights, and how state and local funds are distributed for schools and city services— every election. All these races are critical to the future of our country and how we live our everyday lives. Your vote for these positions is important. So – MAKE A PLAN to vote and SHARE YOUR PLAN!
