2. Check Your Polling Place

If you vote on Election Day, June 21, you must do so at your designated polling place. Be sure to confirm the location and your registration at vote.elections.virginia.gov before you go. You may also either call the Office of Voter Registration & Elections at 703.746.4050 or view the City's current precinct map.  

For June 21, note the following changes to polling places: 

• Hermitage Precinct has been moved to F.T. Day School (1701 N. Beauregard St).  
• Approximately 300 voters in the Naomi L. Brooks precinct have been relocated to the Blessed Sacrament precinct (new voter cards were mailed to all affected voters).

3. Know What’s on the Ballot

In Alexandria, the ballot includes a contest for the U.S. House of Representatives. Review the ballot to help you make informed choices at the voting booth. Election officials are not permitted to provide information about candidates, so please conduct research to determine your choices before arriving at the polling place. 

4. Bring Identification

Virginia voters will be asked to show identification (ID) prior to voting. Examples of acceptable ID include a Virginia driver’s license, voter confirmation documents, United States passport, employee photo ID or student ID. Review the complete list of acceptable forms of identification at the Virginia Department of Elections website. 

Voters who arrive at the polling place without an acceptable ID may sign an ID confirmation statement and vote using a regular ballot.  

5. Don’t Be Late

If you are planning to vote later in the day or after work, please remember that you must be in line at your polling place by 7 p.m. or you will not be able to vote. 

6. Ask for Help if Needed

The Office of Voter Registration & Elections is committed to ensuring every registered voter can vote. If you have any concerns about the voting process or a voting site, please call 703.746.4050 or notify an election officer.

7. View Unofficial Results

After the polls close on Election Day, Alexandria election officials will begin posting unofficial results on the Virginia Department of Elections website. 

During the weeks following the election, state and local Electoral Boards will canvass the results, make any necessary adjustments, and certify the official results.
