Mascot, Virginia Public Records

The registration deadline stands at 22 days before any election, with voters providing their full name, address, date of birth, social security number, and citizenship attestation. Virginia doesn't require party registration. As an unincorporated community without municipal government, Mascot has no city council or mayoral elections of its own. Instead, residents participate in federal, state, and county contests including presidential and congressional races, Virginia General Assembly elections for both the House of Delegates and State Senate, and King and Queen County Board of Supervisors races. The county divides into supervisorial districts, and local voters elect a representative to the Board of Supervisors from their district. Residents can locate their assigned polling place using the Virginia Department of Elections lookup tool at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov/VoterInformation, entering their residential address to view their precinct location, sample ballot, and election officials. During the November 2024 presidential election, King and Queen County reported turnout of approximately 65-70% of registered voters, consistent with rural Virginia patterns, with complete results available through the Virginia Department of Elections website. Looking toward the November 3, 2026 general election, Virginia voters will decide several significant races. While no U.S. Senate seats are up that year, voters will elect all 100 members of the Virginia House of Delegates, as delegates serve two-year terms. Various local offices may also appear on the ballot depending on term schedules, potentially including King and Queen County Board of Supervisors seats and Constitutional Officers such as Sheriff, Commissioner of the Revenue, Treasurer, Clerk of Court, and Commonwealth's Attorney. Virginia holds gubernatorial elections in odd-numbered years - most recently 2025 - so the governor's office won't be on the 2026 ballot. Absentee voting in Virginia is available to any registered voter without requiring an excuse. Voters can request an absentee ballot online through the Virginia Department of Elections Citizen Portal at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov/, by mail, by fax, by email, or in person at the General Registrar's office. The deadline for mail ballot requests is 11 days before the election, while in-person absentee voting runs up to the Saturday before Election Day. Public election records in Virginia include voter registration lists, available to qualified requestors under Virginia Code § 24.2-405, along with campaign finance reports filed by candidates and political committees, searchable at https://www.elections.virginia.gov/candidatepac-info/. Candidate filings, qualifying information, and precinct-level election results are also public. The Virginia Department of Elections publishes election results by locality and precinct after each election, offering transparency into vote totals and turnout statistics.
