Virginia residents can register online through the Virginia Department of Elections at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov/Registration/Eligibility, or they can submit paper applications by mail or in person at the registrar's office. The deadline falls 22 days before any election. Registration requires a Virginia driver's license number or the last four digits of a Social Security number, and first-time voters may need proof of residency. As an unincorporated community, there are no municipal elections here for mayor or town council. Instead, residents vote in county-level contests along with state and federal races. Gloucester County operates under a Board of Supervisors elected by district, with Wicomico falling within one of those districts. Board elections happen every four years, with the next round set for November 2027. Constitutional officers, Sheriff, Commissioner of the Revenue, Treasurer, Commonwealth's Attorney, and Clerk of Court, run countywide every four years as well, also next in November 2027. Finding your polling place takes a quick search on the Virginia Department of Elections tool at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov/VoterInformation/PublicContactLookup, or you can call the Gloucester County Registrar. Assignments depend on your address and precinct boundaries. Polling locations throughout Gloucester County typically include schools, community centers, and county facilities. Virginia maintains several categories of public election records. Voter registration lists exist but come with restrictions - campaigns and certain organizations can access them. Campaign finance disclosure reports can be searched at https://www.elections.virginia.gov/candidatepac-info/campaign-finance/. Candidate filings are available through the State Board of Elections and local registrars. Precinct-level election results appear on the Virginia Department of Elections website at https://results.elections.virginia.gov/. During the November 2024 presidential election, Gloucester County saw roughly 60% turnout among registered voters, with detailed precinct results posted on the state elections website. Looking toward November 3, 2026, voters here will participate in federal and state elections. Virginia doesn't have a U.S. Senate seat up that year, and the gubernatorial race happens in November 2025, not 2026. What will appear on the ballot are all 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates, which come up every two years. Local voters will choose their delegate representing this House district. All eleven of Virginia's U.S. House of Representatives seats will also be contested in 2026. The county might see local constitutional officer races or special elections depending on vacancies and scheduling. For specific candidate information and ballot measures as 2026 approaches, check with the Gloucester County Registrar or the Virginia Department of Elections website. Virginia offers absentee voting by mail and in-person early voting, and any registered voter can participate without providing an excuse. Absentee ballot applications go through https://vote.elections.virginia.gov/VoterInformation, or you can submit them by mail, fax, email, or in person at the registrar's office. The deadline to request a mailed ballot is 11 days before the election at 5:00 PM. In-person absentee voting at the registrar's office usually starts 45 days before an election and runs through the Saturday before Election Day. Completed absentee ballots must reach the registrar's office by 7:00 PM on Election Day, or be postmarked by Election Day and received by noon three days later.
