Dear Neighbor,

Thank you all for continuing to do your best to stay healthy and keep those around us safe. It's more important than ever to continue wearing masks, physically distancing, and avoiding large crowds. As we continue to adhere to these safety precautions, I wanted to share some information about how you can safely vote.

Request an Absentee Ballot by Mail:

There has been much attention recently on the service changes and disruptions at the United States Postal Service. As Chairman of the House Government Operations Subcommittee, I have been leading the fight to protect the Postal Service and have opposed delivery standard changes proposed by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. Thankfully, two recent court decisions halted these changes and congressional oversight has forced the Postmaster General to retreat on many of these changes.

Voting absentee by mail early is still one of the safest ways to vote, and the USPS will be able to meet this challenge.

To apply online to vote absentee by mail click here.

If you would prefer to print out an application form, you can find that here. Military and overseas voters can find specific information regarding absentee voting here.

If you have questions about applying for an absentee ballot, you can contact your local registrar’s office at:

• Fairfax County Office of Elections: 703-222-0776; voting@fairfaxcounty.gov
• Prince William County Office of Elections: 703-792-6470.
• Fairfax City Office of Elections: 703-385-7890; Registrar@fairfaxva.gov

Absentee Voting In-person:

Northern Virginians can also now vote in-person absentee. As of July 2020, you no longer need a reason to vote absentee. At your registrar’s office or satellite location, you will be required to provide your name and address, as well as provide a photo ID. A list of acceptable identification is available here.
