This year, Virginia voters have three choices:
  • Vote Early In-Person
  • Vote Absentee By Mail or Ballot Drop Box
  • Vote In-Person on Election Day (November 3)
Choose what works best for you! 

If you choose to Vote Early In-Person, you can do that between September 18 and October 31, Monday through Friday,  and Saturdays October 24 and October 31, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, at the Montgomery County Government Center, 755 Roanoke Street, in Christiansburg AND the Wonder Universe in the Christiansburg Uptown Mall (formerly the NRV Mall; in the back near NRCC). Note 1 - if you previously applied to Vote Absentee By Mail and now want to Vote Early In-Person, you must take your unopened absentee ballot with you to the Government Center. Note 2 - the Early Voting locations will be closed on Columbus Day, October 12. 

If you choose to Vote Absentee By Mail, go to the Virginia Department of Elections Citizen Portal TODAY and click the "Apply to Vote Absentee by Mail" button - you need to request your ballot only once - ballots will be mailed starting Friday September 18.  You can mail your ballot, OR put it in a Ballot Drop Box at the two locations mentioned above. When you receive your ballot, we strongly recommend that you mark your choices on your ballot and return it or drop it off as soon as possible.

We encourage you to "lock in your vote" by voting either Early In-Person or Absentee By Mail, and VOTE BLUE!

You need to do this only once - ballots are being mailed as of Friday September 18.

​To enter: post a photo or video of yourself or a loved one voting early (in person or by mail) to Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, using the hashtag #MCDemocratsVoteEarly.
