Absentee voting in person

NOTE: Email addresses are written in a format to protect privacy and resist harvesting by spambots. To view addresses in clickable form, please enable javascript in your web browser and then refresh this page.

If you are eligible to vote absentee (see reasons), you may cast your absentee ballot in person. This option allows you to complete the entire absentee voting process in one visit to the County Office Building, thus eliminating the risk of mail delay. It is often more convenient than voting by mail for voters who will be in Arlington at some point in the weeks preceding the election. (Alternatively, you can vote absentee by mail.)

Where

In-person absentee voting is available at one central location: the Voter Registration Office (Rm. 320) at the County Office Building, 2100 Clarendon Blvd. (near the Court House Metro station - see map).

When

This service begins about 45 days before the November election (or 30 days before a primary), and ends the Saturday before Election Day. The office is open for absentee voting during normal business hours, with extended hours on some weekday evenings, and also the final Saturdays before the election.

The process is simpler than voting absentee by mail.

Step #1: Go to the Voter Registration Office and ask for an absentee ballot application.

Step #2: Complete the application form at the office and submit it. You'll be given access to a voting machine or official absentee paper ballot.

Step #3: Cast your vote right there in the office. You're done!

More information on absentee voting in-person is available online from Arlington County and the State Board of Elections.
