On November 5, Virginians will have the opportunity to vote in the historic general and special elections for President, a U.S. Senate seat, 11 U.S. House of Representatives seats and – in some areas – “down-ballot” offices. And next year, our Commonwealth will feature races for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and all 100 House of Delegates seats.
Every year is an election year in Virginia. As Catholics, we are called to practice faithful citizenship each time an election is held and in our daily lives.
The registration deadline for the general election is Tuesday, October 15. (Voters may register after this date, through Election Day, and then vote using a provisional ballot).
To be elegible to register:
* You must be a U.S. citizen
* You must be 18 years old or older before the next election
* You must be a resident of Virginia
* Not be registered and plan to vote in another state
