Voter Registration Information
If you are a resident of Virginia and a US citizen, born before November 7, 1994, not mentally incompetent and not a convicted felon, you can register to vote in Virginia (as long as you don't plan to vote in another state).
College Students: A dorm or college address can be an acceptable residential address and does not disqualify you from voting. Legal residence for voter registration purposes may or may not be the same as legal residence for census, driver's license, income tax, tuition, or financial aid purposes. Please read information about College Student Voters and Legal Residency Requirements.
Voter Registration Application Forms are available at any Montgomery-Floyd Regional Library branch, or online. They must be completed and returned to the Voter Registrar for your county.
Voting absentee? Those forms are also online.
Voter ID Information
State law requires all voters to provide an acceptable form of identification (ID) at the polls. All Virginia active registered voters will be mailed a new voter ID card prior to the November 2012 General Election.
Acceptable forms of ID*:
- Virginia voter identification card
- Valid Virginia driver's license
- Military ID
- Any Federal, Virginia state or local government-issued ID
- Employer issued photo ID card
- Concealed handgun permit
- Valid student ID issued by any institution of higher education located in the Commonwealth of Virginia
- Current utility bill, bank statement, government check or paycheck indicating the name and address of the voter
- Social Security card
* Federal law applies to certain first time voters and has different acceptable forms of ID. Read more details and search your name in the state's database for the ID Requirements that applies to you.
Voters who do not bring an acceptable form of ID to the polls will vote on a provisional ballot. This ballot will only be counted if the local electoral board receives a copy of your ID by noon on the Friday after the election.
