Vote on Election Day
Any registered Fairfax County voter can vote in person on this day.
Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. If you are line by 7 p.m., you will be able to vote.
Preparing to Vote
Put Your Mail-in Ballot in a Drop Box
You can return your absentee mail-in ballot in the drop-off box at any polling place — and you do not need to wait in line to use one.
There is also a secure drop-off box outside the Fairfax County Government Center that you can use on Election Day.
For your mail-in ballot to be counted, it must be put in a drop-off box by 7 p.m. on Election Day if you didn’t mail it back before Election Day. (For ballots returned by mail, they must be received by noon on the Friday after Election Day.)
Guns Prohibited in Polls
By county ordinance, guns are banned inside every polling place in Fairfax County, no matter if it’s a county building, school, or privately owned building.
