Crimora, Virginia Public Records

While Crimora may not boast a large industrial base, the town's economic foundation is firmly rooted in the hard work and entrepreneurial spirit of its residents, who contribute to the overall prosperity of this Augusta County community.

Public safety in Crimora is primarily the responsibility of the Crimora Police Department, which works in collaboration with the Augusta County Sheriff's Office to maintain order and respond to incidents within the community. Residents or individuals who need to obtain criminal records, such as arrest reports, mugshots, or booking information, can begin their request at the Crimora Police Department. If additional county-level records are required, the Augusta County Sheriff's Office can provide assistance in accessing those resources. Both law enforcement agencies are committed to serving the Crimora community and ensuring the safety and security of local residents.

Whether you need to verify a family member's birth information, research your genealogy, or acquire a marriage license, the Circuit Court Clerk's Office can assist you in navigating the process and ensuring you receive the necessary documentation.

Crimora residents vote and access election services through the Augusta County Voter Registration and Elections Office, located at 18 Government Center Lane, Suite 120, Verona, VA 24482, phone (540) 245-5656, website https://www.co.augusta.va.us/government/voter-registration-and-elections. This office administers all aspects of voter registration, candidate qualification, absentee voting, and election operations for the unincorporated Crimora community and all Augusta County precincts. Virginia residents can register to vote online through the Virginia Department of Elections at https://www.elections.virginia.gov/registration/how-to-register/ or submit paper applications to the county registrar. The voter registration deadline is 22 days before any election. Acceptable forms of identification for in-person voting include valid Virginia driver's license, any federal or Virginia government-issued photo ID, employer-issued photo ID, student ID from any Virginia college or university, voter photo ID card issued by local registrar, or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, or paycheck showing the voter's name and address.

Crimora, as an unincorporated community, does not hold municipal elections for mayor or town council. Residents participate in Augusta County, state, and federal elections. County government includes an elected Board of Supervisors (Crimora falls within the South River District), elected Constitutional Officers (Sheriff, Commissioner of the Revenue, Treasurer, Commonwealth's Attorney, Clerk of Circuit Court), and School Board members. Crimora residents can find their assigned polling location by using the Virginia Department of Elections polling place lookup tool at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov/VoterInformation/PublicContactLookup or by contacting the Augusta County Elections Office. Precinct assignments are based on residential address.

Under Virginia law (Virginia Code § 24.2-101 et seq.), numerous election records are public, including voter registration lists (available for purchase by qualified requesters for political purposes), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and political committees (searchable at https://www.elections.virginia.gov/candidatepac-info/), certified election results by precinct, and candidate qualification documents. In the November 2024 presidential election, Augusta County reported approximately 53% voter turnout with roughly 32,000 ballots cast from approximately 60,000 registered voters, reflecting strong engagement in this conservative-leaning county that supported Republican candidates.

Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, Crimora and Augusta County voters will decide several significant races. Virginia does not have U.S. Senate elections in 2026 (next Senate race is 2025 and 2027 for Virginia's staggered seats). However, all 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates will be on the ballot (delegates serve two-year terms), meaning Crimora residents will vote for their representative in the appropriate district. County-level offices including seats on the Augusta County Board of Supervisors may also be contested depending on the election cycle for the South River District. School Board positions are typically elected in even-numbered years as well. Voters should consult the Augusta County elections website closer to the election date for confirmed candidate lists and ballot measures.

Virginia offers absentee voting both by mail and in-person early voting for any reason (no excuse required). Absentee ballot applications can be submitted online at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov/VoterInformation, by mail, or in person at the Augusta County Elections Office. The deadline to request a mailed absentee ballot is 11 days before the election (5:00 PM), though earlier application is recommended. In-person early voting (absentee voting in person) is available at the Elections Office beginning 45 days before the election through the Saturday before Election Day. Voted absentee ballots must be received by the Elections Office by 7:00 PM on Election Day; postmarks are not sufficient. Crimora residents can track their absentee ballot status through the Virginia Department of Elections website.
