Voting By Mail?  In May Election?  Future Elections? 

As you may know, the LWV-VA is a plaintiff in a lawsuit relating to the witness requirement in Virginia for absentee ballots. Are you concerned about trying to find a witness for the November 3 elections if you cast an absentee ballot by mail? Did finding a witness for the May 19 election pose a challenge? Please share your concerns regarding the November election or your experience in the May election by contacting Deb Wake.

Things to know for the June 23 primary:

• You have until Jun 16 to request an absentee ballot for the June 23 primary.
• You can apply for an absentee ballot now for the June and July elections here.
• You can use reason 2A, “My disability or illness,”whether or not you have any coronavirus symptoms, if safety concerns are the reason you are voting from home.
• You do NOT need a witness for the June 23 primary.
