Registering by mail: You may submit your Virginia voter registration form by mail if you prefer. Forms are available at many locations in Alexandria:

• City Hall and many other city offices
• City library branches

You may also obtain a registration form:

• from the City Elections Office (call 703-746-4050 or online)
• from the Alexandria Republican Party (call 571-969-4467)
• by downloading the form and printing it.

Within 30 days after registering, you should receive a Voter ID card in the mail from the City, showing your address and your voting precinct and polling place. On Election Day, you will be allowed to vote only at the precinct in which you are registered to vote.

Keep it current: If you have changed your address or your name, you'll need to update your registration information. If you've moved outside Alexandria, submit a new voter registration form to the registrar in your new city or county. If you've moved within Alexandria, you should:

• use the change-of-information form on the back of your voter ID card; or
• fill out a new voter registration form; or
• send the information in writing (including name, old and new address, date of birth, social security number)

More information on registering to vote and updating registration is available from the Alexandria City Elections Office and the Virginia State Board of Elections.
