Eligible voters must be U.S. Citizens, Virginia residents, at least 18 years old by the next general election, and not currently declared mentally incompetent by a court or convicted of a felony unless rights have been restored. As an unincorporated community, Greenbackville has no municipal government and therefore no city council or mayoral elections.

Residents can find their assigned polling location using the Virginia Department of Elections polling place lookup tool at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov or by contacting the Accomack County elections office. Historical polling locations for the area have included the Atlantic Volunteer Fire Company, though voters should verify their specific polling place before each election. In the November 2024 presidential election, Accomack County reported approximately 58% voter turnout with roughly 12,500 ballots cast out of approximately 21,500 registered voters.

The November 3, 2026 general election will feature several significant races for Greenbackville and Accomack County voters.

Local voters will elect their representative in the 100th House District. No U.S. Senate seat from Virginia is up in 2026, with the next Senate races in 2026 for one seat and 2030 for the other; the 2026 seat will be on the ballot.
