Davis Wharf, Virginia Public Records

Beyond these key industries, Davis Wharf is also home to a variety of small businesses, ranging from specialty retail stores to professional service providers, that cater to the needs of both residents and tourists alike.

The registration deadline in Virginia is 22 days before any election. Applicants must be U.S. Citizens, Virginia residents, at least 18 years old by the next general election, and not currently declared mentally incapacitated by a court or convicted of a felony unless rights have been restored. Virginia requires photo ID to vote, including driver's licenses, U.S. Passports, employer-issued photo IDs, student IDs from Virginia schools, or voter photo ID cards issued free by local registrars. As an unincorporated community, the area has no municipal elections, mayor, or town council. Residents vote in Accomack County Board of Supervisors elections, Virginia General Assembly races, statewide offices, and federal elections. The community is part of Accomack County's Atlantic Supervisor District. To find their assigned polling location, voters can use the polling place lookup tool at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov or contact the registrar's office. Residents typically vote at the Davis Wharf Volunteer Fire Department at 5321 Davis Wharf Road or at assigned precincts based on their specific address. In the November 2024 presidential election, Accomack County reported voter turnout of approximately 64% with about 10,500 ballots cast out of roughly 16,400 registered voters, reflecting strong participation in Accomack County's rural precincts. On November 3, 2026, Virginia voters will decide several important races: all 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates for two-year terms (Virginia gubernatorial elections are held in odd years, so 2025 was most recent; 2026 will not include Governor), and no U.S. Senate seat from Virginia is up in 2026 as Mark Warner's term expires in 2027 and Tim Kaine's expires in 2025. Local voters will vote for their member of the Virginia House of Delegates representing District 100, various county constitutional officers potentially including Sheriff, Commissioner of Revenue, Treasurer, Commonwealth's Attorney (terms vary), and Accomack County Board of Supervisors members depending on the district election cycle. Absentee voting in Virginia is available by mail or in-person early voting without excuse required since 2020 law changes. Absentee ballot applications can be submitted online at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov, by mail, or in person to the registrar's office up to seven days before the election. Early in-person voting begins 45 days before Election Day at the registrar's office. Mailed absentee ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received by noon on the third day after the election. Virginia election records that are public include voter registration lists (available to candidates and parties with restrictions), campaign finance disclosure reports searchable at https://apps.elections.virginia.gov/SBE_CSV/CF/Index, candidate filings showing who is running for office, and official election results by precinct published by the State Board of Elections at https://results.elections.virginia.gov. Voter history, whether someone voted, not how they voted, is also public record in Virginia.
