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.  

Before you can vote you must be registered. If you have not voted in some time, or are not sure if you are registered, you should confirm your registration status. It is important to know that the registration deadline this year for the election, see deadlines below at Make Your Voice Heard -- Vote! 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.

To find you polling place you can call the Registrar's office listed above, or view the map on the Appomattox County website, or lastly at the Virginia Department of Elections website.

If you are writing in a candidate for an office you must also fill in the oval as well as writing the name for your vote to be counted!
