Arlington County Republican Committee Mark Kelly, Chairman

Voting in person

Polls

Arlington now has 50 precincts, and each has its own polling place (see list). You can find your precinct and polling place:
  • on your Arlington voter ID card; or
  • by looking at the County precinct map; or
  • by using the state online look-up service; or
  • by calling the County Voter Registration Office (703-228-3456).

Hours

Polling places in Virginia are open from 6 am to 7 pm. Please note the closing time is 7 pm, not 8 pm as in many other states. The polls close promptly at 7 pm -- if you are not in line by that exact time, you will not be allowed to vote. If you're voting late in the day (especially if traveling by car or transit), please allow plenty of time to make sure you reach the polling place before 7 pm.

Voter ID

Voters are required by Virginia law to present proof of identification when voting. You must bring a valid form of identification (such as your voter ID card or driver's license) to the polling place. If you do not have one, you will be asked to sign an affidavit, which is subject to criminal penalties for perjury. (See more on voter ID requirements from Arlington County and the State Board of Elections.)

Information at polls

Blank sample ballots are posted at each polling place. Sample ballots with endorsements are available from campaign workers outside the location. Be sure to ask for a Republican sample ballot!

Voting machines

All polling places in Arlington are equipped with small "WINvote" computers, which provide touch-screen voting. Demonstration units are available at the County Elections Office. The WINvote machines were implemented County-wide in November 2003. (See also: More information on Arlington's WINvote machines.)
