How to make a change

First and foremost is vote!

The essential part of a healthy democracy is an informed and engaged electorate. Learn about the issues, and research the candidates and the policies that they support. Then register to vote and of course be sure to vote on election day.  

How to register

Before you can vote you must be registered. If you have not voted in some time or are not sure you  that are registered you should confirm your registration status. It is important to know that the registration deadline this year for the Presidential Primary in March is  February 12, 2024.  (Voters may register after this date, through Election Day, and vote using a provisional ballot). You can confirm, register, and get more information on voting and voter registration on our state’s Virginia Department of Elections website.

Or you can confirm registration status or register at our local registrar office.
