Today is your last chance to apply to vote by mail in the upcoming General Election. Any registered voter can absentee vote by mail without needing a reason or excuse. The fastest and most secure way to apply is online on the Virginia Department of Elections website. You’ll also be able to track the status of your application, as well as when your ballot is mailed to you. Your Virginia driver’s license number is needed to apply online, along with the last four digits of your Social Security number.
Sincerely,
Delegate Kathleen Murphy
