APPLICATIONS Registration forms are available from local registration offices, many state government offices, armed forces recruitment centers, public libraries and Department of Motor Vehicles offices.
ELIGIBILITY You must be a resident of Virginia, a U.S. citizen and at least 18 years old by Nov. 8. The application must be approved by the local registration office. If the registration is accepted, a Voter Registration Card will be mailed to you.
