Deadline to Register and Update Virginia Voter Registrations: May 21

On Tuesday, June 12, there will be a Democratic Primary for U.S. House of Representatives and Alexandria City Council and a Republican Primary for U.S. Senate. There is no party registration in Virginia; however, voters may only vote in one primary and are required to express their political party ballot choice.

The legal deadline to register to vote in the June 12 primaries is Monday, May 21 at 5 p.m. Voter Registration applications submitted by mail must be postmarked on or before May 21. The same deadlines are in effect for Virginia voters who are registered, but have moved within the City of Alexandria, or within Virginia. Voters who do not update their registration records before the May 21 deadline risk being ineligible to vote in these primaries.

Voter cards for new or transferred registrants will be mailed within one week of the registration date.


Checking Registration

Alexandria voters who are not certain if they are registered at their current address may go to alexandriava.gov/Elections and click “Am I Registered and Where do I Vote?” or call the Alexandria Office of Voter Registration at 703.746.4050.

New Voting Equipment
