The last day to register to vote for the March 8 election is Tuesday, March 1. The Constitution of Virginia requires that you be registered in the precinct in which you live in order to be qualified to vote.
 
Registered voters who need to change their address may do so by completing, signing, and submitting a voter registration application or their voter card. The deadline to change registration information prior to the March 8 election is March 1. If a registered voter's address has changed, the voter should update his or her address to ensure he or she remains qualified to vote.
 
Any qualified resident of Virginia may apply to register to vote or to update his or her registration information at the places and times listed below. Applications and updated information may also be mailed. Qualified residents who will be 18 years of age on or before November 8, 2011, may register and vote in the election.
