As an unincorporated community, Weems doesn't hold separate municipal elections for mayor or town council. Residents participate in Lancaster County, state, and federal races instead. The county operates under a five-member Board of Supervisors elected by district. School Board members also stand for election. Virginia conducts state legislative elections in odd-numbered years, and local voters participate in races for the Virginia House of Delegates (District 99) and Virginia Senate. Residents can locate their assigned polling place using the Virginia Department of Elections tool at vote.elections.virginia.gov/VoterInformation/PublicContactLookup. Voters enter their name and date of birth or address to find their precinct and polling location. Lancaster County typically operates several precincts, including those serving the area along Route 3 where Weems sits. Election records available to the public in Virginia include voter registration lists, which can be purchased for legitimate political or governmental purposes, and campaign finance disclosures filed with the Virginia Department of Elections and accessible at elections.virginia.gov/candidatepac-info/candidate-pac-search.
