To request an Absentee Ballot be mailed to you, print the Absentee Ballot Application, fill it out, and mail it to PWC Voter Registration and Elections, When will I get my ballot? Ballots are mailed starting approximately 45 days before each general election (30 days before a Primary Election), as soon as ballots are ready (you may send in your Application anytime after the previous General Election, e.g., in December you can send in an Absentee Application for any election to be held the following year, up to the next November election). Once ballots are ready, all applications received in our office are processed and mailed within 3 business days. Please send your application early enough to allow time for us to mail your ballot, and for you to return it by Election Day. Ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day in order to be counted. Call or e-mail us if your ballot doesn't arrive within a reasonable time. The last day ballots can be requested for mailing is the Tuesday preceding Election Day. Is my mailed ballot counted? All absentee ballots, those sent by mail and those cast in-person, are counted on Election Day in How do I vote Absentee In-Person? Absentee voting in-person begins approximately 45 days prior to a general election (30 days prior to other elections), depending upon the availability of ballots.

you may be eligible to receive an absentee ballot by completing the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). For specific information, including an on-line version of the FPCA, see the Federal Voting Assistance Program Web site. The FPCA allows eligible citizens to register and request absentee ballots on one form and to receive ballots for elections for two federal election cycles, rather than the Virgina-specific single-election application.
Ongoing Disability and Illness Virginia Election Law 24.2-703.1 provides that any voter who is eligible for an absentee ballot “... because of a physical disability or physical illness and who is likely to remain so disabled or ill for the remainder of the calendar year shall be eligible to file a special annual application to receive ballots for all elections in which he is eligible to vote in a calendar year.” If you have an ongoing disability or illness and you wish to receive an absentee ballot by mail for all elections in which you are eligible to vote, call 703-792-6470 or print a copy: Annual Absentee Ballot Application for Disabled or Ill Voter. The first application you send to us requires a doctor’s signature, verifying your disability or illness. You will be sent absentee ballots for all elections in which you are eligible to vote. In December of every year you will be sent another Annual Application to be completed in order to request ballots for the upcoming election year. These subsequent Annual Applications do not need the physician's signature since you would have already submitted a physician's statement on your first annual application. If you have more questions, call 703-792-6470.
If you still have unanswered questions, or comments on the information provided here, use VoterInquiry to send us an e-mail. You should receive a response within 24 business hours; however, if you don't hear from us in a timely manner (especially close to Election Day), please call the office. |
