The mechanics of voting... November 4th 2008 in Harrisonburg, VA

What you will need to bring with you to the polls:

  • Your voter card issued by the Harrisonburg Registrar's Office
  • A picture ID, your JAC card will work as will a driver's license

If you have NOT received your voter card, CALL the Harrisonburg Registrar's Office ASAP (432-7707) to insure that you are listed in the Poll Book.  ALSO print out your voter registration status from the State Board of Elections web page (see below) and bring that with you to the polls.

Polls are open from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm.

  • if you are in line by 7:00 pm you MUST be allowed to vote regardless of how long it takes.

Other considerations:

  • Lines will be long, please let professors know you are intending to vote in case you are delayed beyond class time
  • DO NOT wear partisan clothing or pins etc. into the polling site. That is considered electioneering and you will be asked to remove those items.

Please look on the State Board of Elections web page -  www.sbe.virginia.gov for further information.
