Hurley, Virginia Public Records

Residents can register to vote online through the Virginia Department of Elections citizen portal at www.vote.virginia.gov. The online system handles voter registration applications, updates to existing registrations, and registration status checks. To register in Virginia, you must be a United States citizen, a Virginia resident, 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 civil rights have been restored. The deadline is 22 days before any election, though Virginia offers same-day registration during the early voting period at the registrar's office or early voting locations. As an unincorporated community, Hurley doesn't hold separate municipal elections for mayor or town council. Residents participate in Buchanan County, state, and federal elections instead. These constitutional officer positions carry four-year terms in Virginia. Finding your assigned polling place is straightforward - use the Virginia Department of Elections polling place lookup tool at www.vote.virginia.gov or contact the Buchanan County Registrar at (276) 935-6567. Polling locations are assigned based on your residential address and precinct boundaries. Virginia law requires polling places to be open from 6:00 a.m. To 7:00 p.m. On Election Day, and anyone in line at 7:00 p.m. Must be allowed to vote. Election records that are public in Virginia include voter registration lists, available to candidates, political parties, and others for lawful purposes under Virginia Code § 24.2-405. Campaign finance reports filed by candidates and political committees can be searched through the Virginia Department of Elections at www.elections.virginia.gov/candidatepac-info/. Candidate filings, qualifying information, and precinct-level election results are also public. The Buchanan County elections office and Virginia Department of Elections publish unofficial results on election night and certified results after the canvass period. Virginia doesn't have U.S. Voters may also see local constitutional officer positions depending on term expiration schedules, and any special elections or bond referenda that may be placed on the ballot. Virginia offers absentee voting both by mail and in-person during an early voting period. Any registered voter may vote absentee without providing an excuse. To request an absentee ballot by mail, voters can apply online through the citizen portal at www.vote.virginia.gov, download and mail a paper application, or request one from the Buchanan County Registrar. Absentee ballot applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. On the Friday before Election Day for mail ballots, or by the Saturday before Election Day at 5:00 p.m. For in-person absentee voting. In-person early voting typically begins 45 days before Election Day and is available at the registrar's office in Grundy. Completed absentee ballots must be returned by mail - postmarked by Election Day and received by noon on the third day after the election - or delivered in person to the registrar's office by 7:00 p.m. On Election Day.
