Same Day Voter Registration

Same day registration refers to the ability to register to vote in-person and immediately vote a provisional ballot after the deadline to register and vote a non-provisional ballot has passed.

We will address some of the frequently asked questions about this new process:

Is same day registration new in Virginia?

Yes. Beginning with the 2022 General Election, the General Assembly approved
legislation that provides the ability to register at any time, up to and including
Election Day.

How is this different from how registration has previously worked?

Previously, registration was closed for the 21 days before an election; there was
no ability to register to vote after this deadline. The new law allows registration,
with limitations, during the 21-day period before an election.

What is a provisional ballot?

Provisional ballots are used by voters who do not appear on the list of registered
voters at their polling location. Provisional ballots are not processed by a vote
counting machine at the time of voting, but rather are subject to approval by the
local electoral board prior to the ballot being counted.

What happens to my provisional ballot after I vote?

The general registrar’s office for your locality will research your ballot to gather
evidence about whether you are qualified and eligible to vote. The general
registrar’s office will forward your ballot and the information gathered to the
electoral board to review and approve or deny your ballot.
