Voter ID Requirement:

Virginia voters are reminded that legislation adopted by the 2000 Virginia General Assembly requires them to provide identification (ID) at the polls (or to sign an Affirmation of Identity) in order to vote.

Acceptable forms of identification include the following:

  • Virginia Voter Information Card
  • Virginia driver's license or special identification card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles
  • Valid United States passport
  • Military ID card
  • Any Federal, state or local government-issued ID card
  • Employer-issued photo ID card
  • Social Security card

A voter who fails to bring acceptable ID to the polls may still vote after signing, under oath, an Affirmation of Identity, which is the voter's certification in writing that the name and address information provided to the election officials at the polling place is correct.

Please report change of name or address.

To remain a qualified registered voter, the law requires you to notify your local voter registration office of any change in your name or address. This must be done before the registration books close for the next election. The deadline is 29 days prior to any general or primary election and 13 days before a special election.

You can submit your notice of change of name and/or address either by mail (12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 323, Fairfax, Virginia 22035-0081) or by fax (703-324-2205). In either case, the notice must include your signature to be valid. Notice cannot be made by telephone or by e-mail.

After your change is processed, you will be mailed a new Voter Information Card. If a new card does not arrive within a few weeks, please call us at 703-222-0776 to confirm that your notice was received.
