Midlothian, Virginia Public Records

The registration deadline falls 22 days before any election. Acceptable identification includes a valid Virginia DMV-issued driver's license or identification card, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. As an unincorporated community without municipal government, Midlothian has no city or town elections. Instead, residents participate in Chesterfield County, state, and federal contests. The county operates under a five-member Board of Supervisors elected by district, with local residents voting for the Midlothian District supervisor. Residents can locate their assigned polling place using the tool at vote.elections.virginia.gov or by calling the Chesterfield County elections office. Virginia offers multiple absentee voting methods: voters may request an absentee ballot by mail with no excuse required under current state law, vote early in-person at the Chesterfield County Registrar's Office beginning 45 days before the election (Saturdays also available closer to election day), or vote absentee by mail after requesting a ballot online at vote.elections.virginia.gov or submitting a paper application. The absentee ballot request deadline is 11 days before the election for mail ballots, or up to 5:00 PM the Saturday before the election for in-person early voting.

The county elections website publishes unofficial results on election night and certified totals after the canvass. Under Virginia law (Virginia Code § 24.2-406), voter registration records including names and addresses are public, but Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and phone numbers remain confidential.
