Moon residents' voting and election services are administered by the Mathews County Office of Voter Registration and Elections, located at the Mathews County Government Complex, 10622 Buckley Hall Road, Mathews, VA 23109. The office can be reached at (804) 725-7172, and election information is available through the Virginia Department of Elections website at https://www.elections.virginia.gov/. Virginia offers online voter registration through the state's Citizen Portal at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov/VoterInformation. The registration deadline is 22 days before any election. To register, applicants must be U.S. citizens, Virginia residents, at least 18 years old by the next general election, and provide either a Virginia driver's license number, the last four digits of their Social Security number, or other identification. Virginia does not require voter ID for registration, but voters must present acceptable photo identification when voting in person, or alternatively, sign a statement confirming their identity.

As an unincorporated community, Moon has no municipal elections for mayor or town council. Residents vote in county, state, and federal elections. Mathews County is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors elected by district to four-year staggered terms. The next Board of Supervisors election will be held in November 2027. Moon residents can find their assigned polling location by using the Virginia Department of Elections' polling place lookup tool at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov/ by entering their address. Mathews County typically operates several precincts throughout the county for Election Day voting, with early voting available at the county registrar's office for the 45 days preceding any election.

In the November 2024 presidential election, Mathews County recorded approximately 65-70% voter turnout among registered voters, consistent with the county's historically strong participation rates. The county has approximately 7,500 registered voters. Virginia election records that are public include voter registration lists (with restrictions on use), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and political committees (searchable at https://apps.elections.virginia.gov/SBE_CSV/CF/), candidate filings and statements of qualification, and precinct-level election results. These records are maintained by both the Mathews County registrar and the Virginia Department of Elections.

Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, Moon and Mathews County voters will decide several significant races. Virginia will hold elections for all 100 House of Delegates seats, as delegates serve two-year terms. Moon residents vote for the delegate representing the 72nd House District. Additionally, 2026 is not a U.S. Senate election year for Virginia (next in 2026 for Warner's seat expiring 2027, and 2024 was Kaine's re-election). Virginia's gubernatorial election was held in 2025 (Virginia governors serve four-year terms and cannot serve consecutive terms), so 2026 will not feature a governor's race. Voters will also decide county constitutional officer positions that may be on the ballot, and any local school board seats if applicable. Virginia's Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor positions, elected in 2025, will not appear on the 2026 ballot.

Virginia offers absentee voting both in-person (early voting) and by mail. Any registered voter may vote absentee without providing a reason. Mail-in absentee ballot applications can be submitted online at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov/, by mail, email, or fax to the Mathews County registrar. The application deadline is 11 days before the election (5 p.m.). Completed absentee ballots must be returned by 7 p.m. on Election Day, either by mail (postmarked by Election Day and received by noon the Friday after the election, though voters are encouraged to mail ballots earlier) or delivered in person to the registrar's office or designated drop-off locations. In-person early voting is available at the Mathews County registrar's office for 45 days before any election, including Saturdays, with no excuse required.
