Voter registration applications sent by mail must be postmarked no later than October 15, 2013. Applications are available at the local general registrars office, the Department of Motor Vehicles, and are downloadable on the Virginia State Board of Elections website.
Eligible citizens of the Commonwealth are able to submit a voter registration application or update their registration information online at www.vote.virginia.gov. In order to complete the application process online, citizens must provide their Virginia DMV customer identifier number, which is displayed on DMV issued identification cards or drivers licenses, in addition to the information normally required on an application. Citizens who do not have a Virginia DMV customer identifier may still fill out the registration application online, but will be required to print and mail and postmark or return the completed application to the appropriate local voter registration office by October 15.
