Election day help & your rights

Polls are open 6 AM–7 PM. If you're in line by 7 PM, stay in line — you have the right to vote.
Bring an accepted ID, or sign an ID Confirmation Statement at the polls if you don't have one.
UVA students: your UVA student ID (CavCard) counts as an accepted photo ID in Virginia. Forgot it? Sign an ID Confirmation Statement and you can still vote a regular ballot.
If your name isn't on the voter list, ask for a provisional ballot — don't leave without one.
Can't enter the polling place because of age (65+) or a disability? Ask for curbside voting.
Problems at the polls? Call the nonpartisan Election Protection hotline: 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683).

What to bring

One accepted ID: a Virginia driver's license or DMV ID, U.S. passport, student ID from a Virginia college, employer photo ID, military ID, tribal ID, concealed-carry permit, voter confirmation document, or a current utility bill, bank statement, or paycheck with your name and address.
No ID with you? You can still vote after signing an ID Confirmation Statement at the polls.
At the wrong polling place? Poll workers can tell you where to go — if you can get there and are in line by 7 PM you can vote there. Can't make it? Ask for a provisional ballot rather than leaving.

Precinct areas come from the City of Charlottesville precinct map and the Albemarle County election ordinance, and each polling place is the one officially assigned to your precinct — not simply the nearest building. Confirm your assignment with the Virginia polling place lookup before election day.
