Also, due to social distancing measures in place, voting may take longer than usual, so voters should plan accordingly. Voters who have requested and received an absentee ballot by mail, but who then change their mind and want to vote in person, must bring the ballot with them to the polling place in order to vote. This will likely also cause a longer-than-normal wait time for the voter because of the process involved in surrendering the ballot. Finally, check your registration status to make sure you're registered to vote. What's on the Ballot Below are the candidates on the ballot and proposed Virginia constitutional amendments.
