ASHBURN, VA — Ashburn voters will head to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 2, to cast ballots for statewide and local offices. Residents can cast their vote for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and delegate. The Ashburn area is represented by the 32nd district in the Virginia House of Delegates. That seat is up for grabs in the 2021 election. On Election Day, polls in Loudoun County and the rest of Virginia open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Voters who are in line by 7 p.m. will be permitted to cast their ballot. Ashburn residents can find their polling place through the Virginia Department of Election's polling place locator tool. To vote in person, an acceptable form of ID is required, but it is no longer required to be a photo ID. Examples of accepted ID include a Virginia driver's license, DMV-issued ID, U.S. passport, current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck and more. Those who are voting by mail must return the mail-in ballot by 5 p.m. on Nov. 2, Election Day, in person or have it postmarked by Nov. 2 and received by noon on Nov. 5.
