GOVERNOR KAINE ENCOURAGES VOTER REGISTRATION STATUS CHECK~ Deadline for registration is October 6 ~
RICHMOND - Governor Timothy M. Kaine today encouraged Virginians to check their voter registration status, reminding voters that the deadline to register is October 6th. The Governor encouraged Virginians to take advantage of a State Board of Elections web tool to confirm their registration status, polling location, and other vital information ahead of the fall elections.
"By taking a few minutes to use this simple tool, Virginia voters can make sure they aren't turned away on Election Day because they show up at the wrong precinct, have inaccurate voter information or are not registered to vote by the October 6th deadline," Governor Kaine said. "With more than 4.8 million registered voters in the Commonwealth, our General Registrars and Electoral Boards need the assistance of the general public to make the election experience a positive one."
Virginia residents can check their voter registration status in two ways:
GÇó By visiting www.sbe.virginia.gov and clicking on the "Check Voter Registration Status" link.
GÇó By calling (804) 864-8901 or (800) 552-9745. Staff and volunteers answer phones at the Virginia State Board of Election Voter Registration Call Center from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 pm.
GÇó By calling their local registrar. Contact information for registrars is available in the blue pages of the phone book.
