WHAT’S ON THE BALLOT?

• 8th Congressional District
• 10th Congressional District
• 11th Congressional District

For Town of Herndon residents, the mayor and council are also up for election.

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

As a result of redistricting, which is a legally required process to adjust election districts every 10 years, voters may find that their congressional district has changed. Before going to vote, double check your district by looking up your voter information on the state’s online portal or call the Office of Elections at 703-222-0776, TTY 711.

Voters in the towns of Clifton, Herndon and Vienna should be aware that the state recently sent a mailing that incorrectly identified their polling places. To correct the state's mistake, the Fairfax County Office of Elections is mailing a letter to these town voters with their correct polling place.

SAME DAY VOTER REGISTRATION

A new state law now allows same day voter registration for anyone who is eligible to vote. To register before Election Day, go to any early voting site during the hours they're open or the Fairfax County Office of Elections to fill out a voter registration application. Same day registration is also available on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8. On Election Day, however, you must register at the polling place for the precinct where you live. Call the Office of Elections to determine your precinct and polling place if you aren't sure.

By state law, voters who register same day must vote a provisional ballot, and the Fairfax County Electoral Board will determine which provisional ballots are counted. (Provisional votes are not included in the election night results, and the board does not consider these ballots until after Election Day.)
