Verona, Virginia Public Records

Public safety in Verona is primarily the responsibility of the Verona Police Department, which works closely with the Augusta County Sheriff's Office. Residents seeking information on local crime statistics, arrest records, or police incident reports can submit requests directly to the Verona Police Department. For broader inquiries, the Augusta County Sheriff's Office can provide access to countywide law enforcement data, including booking histories and mugshot archives.

Verona residents participate in elections administered by the Augusta County Office of Voter Registration and Elections, located at 1 E. Johnson Street, Suite 6, Verona, VA 24482, phone (540) 245-5656, website https://www.co.augusta.va.us/government/voter-registration. Virginia residents can register to vote online through the Virginia Department of Elections at https://www.elections.virginia.gov/registration/how-to-register, which offers an online registration application requiring a Virginia driver's license or DMV-issued ID. The voter registration deadline is 22 days before any election. Residents can also register by mail or in person at the county elections office, DMV offices, or various state agencies. Since Verona is an unincorporated community, there are no municipal elections for mayor or town council; residents vote in Augusta County Board of Supervisors elections, Virginia state legislative races, and federal elections. The Augusta County Board of Supervisors is elected from single-member districts; Verona residents vote in either the South River or Beverley Manor district depending on their address. To find their assigned polling place, Verona residents can use the Virginia Department of Elections polling place lookup tool at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov/VoterInformation, which requires entering name and date of birth or residential address. Virginia law makes certain election records public, including voter registration lists (available for purchase for lawful purposes), campaign finance disclosure reports (searchable at https://www.elections.virginia.gov/candidatepac-info/candidate-pac-search), candidate filings, and precinct-level election results. In the November 2024 presidential election, Augusta County reported approximately 61% voter turnout, with approximately 28,000 ballots cast out of roughly 46,000 registered voters. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, Verona and Augusta County voters will decide several key races: all 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates are up for election (Verona is in the 20th District); one U.S. Senate seat for Virginia (Class 2, currently held by Mark Warner, whose term expires in 2027, though this seat is not up in 2026—voters should verify current election cycle); various Augusta County constitutional offices including Sheriff, Commissioner of Revenue, Treasurer, Commonwealth's Attorney, and Clerk of Court (depending on term schedules); and potentially some Board of Supervisors seats depending on district election cycles. Virginia offers absentee voting by mail for any registered voter without requiring an excuse; applications for absentee ballots can be submitted online at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov, by mail, or in person at the county elections office beginning 45 days before an election. Absentee ballot applications must be received by 5 PM on the Friday before Election Day for mail ballots, or by 2 PM on the Saturday before Election Day for in-person absentee voting. Early in-person voting is available at the Augusta County elections office beginning 45 days before Election Day.
