Virginia Voting PSA

If you don’t know by now how important the upcoming Presidential election is, I can only assume you’ve been living under a rock. By all accounts, the race is incredibly tight, which means every vote carries that much more significance.  

The blogger at Leesburg Tomorrow has posted several entries devoted to voter registration resources. The most recent one links to the Vote from Abroad site, as well as links up to the Virginia site that allows you to check your registration status. Keep in mind that it’s not just American citizens abroad that can use the absentee ballot; anyone can, and it might be a good idea to take advantage of it if you want to be extra sure your vote is counted or you don’t want to have to endure the history-making lines they’re anticipating. 

This time around, Virginia is one of the states up for grabs between the two parties. Loudoun, in particular, has been a bit of a battleground. Whichever side of the aisle you’re on, don’t miss this opportunity to make your voice heard. 

Special note: October 6th is the cut-off date for name or address changes.
