you need to get a Virginia Absentee Ballot Application. You
can get this from your local voter registration office, or
you can print one out on a computer. Download the form from
the the Virginia State Board of Elections website here.
Be sure the application includes the reason you need to vote
absentee; the address you wish the ballot mailed to; your
name, address, social security number and signature. A separate
application must be completed for each election in which you
need to vote absentee.
What
if I want to vote on Election Day, but I have a disability
that makes voting difficult?
The
election officials are committed to making sure you can vote.
If you are 65 years or older, have a physical disability or
have difficulty getting inside the polling place, the election
officials can bring a ballot to you in your vehicle outside.
If you have limited vision, you can vote with assistance.
If you have other disabilities, you can ask someone to assist
you with voting.
