Registered voters no longer need to cite a reason to submit an absentee ballot
Beginning today, registered voters in Virginia have the option of completing an absentee ballot in the Nov. 3 general election.
Under legislation approved by the 2020 General Assembly and signed by Gov. Ralph Northam, all voters are eligible for absentee voting; previously, the option was available only to those with a qualifying reason, such as business travel, college or military service.
The changes are designed to make voting convenient and safe, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. That means voters now can decide whether to fill out a ballot at their polling place on Election Day or submit an absentee ballot – either by mail or in person – in advance.
