Zuni, Virginia Public Records

Residents register to vote through the Virginia Department of Elections online portal at www.elections.virginia.gov/citizen-portal, where eligible citizens can complete new registration, update existing registration, or check registration status. Virginia requires registration at least 22 days before an election. Acceptable identification for registration includes a Virginia driver's license number, the last four digits of a Social Security number, or a copy of acceptable identification if registering by mail. The state offers same-day registration during the early voting period, allowing eligible citizens to register and vote simultaneously at the General Registrar's office. As an unincorporated community, Zuni does not hold municipal elections for mayor or town council. Instead, residents vote in Isle of Wight County Board of Supervisors elections, Virginia General Assembly elections, statewide offices, and federal races. The Board of Supervisors consists of five members elected from single-member districts; the community falls within the Windsor District. Supervisor elections are held on a staggered schedule during November general elections. To find their assigned polling place, residents can use the Virginia Department of Elections polling place lookup tool at www.elections.virginia.gov/polling-place or contact the General Registrar's office. Area voters typically cast ballots at polling locations in or near Windsor, such as Windsor Elementary School or Windsor Volunteer Fire Department, depending on their specific precinct assignment. In the November 2024 presidential election, Isle of Wight County recorded voter turnout of approximately 68-70%, with over 25,000 ballots cast from Isle Of Wight County's approximately 36,000 registered voters. The county has historically leaned Republican in presidential and statewide elections while remaining competitive in local races. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, voters will decide several important races. Virginia does not hold gubernatorial elections in 2026 (the next Governor's race is 2025), but voters will elect all 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates for two-year terms. Local voters participate in elections for the 64th House District. One of Virginia's U.S. Senate seats will be on the ballot in 2026, as Senator Tim Kaine's term expires. County voters will also decide local offices that may include the Sheriff, Commissioner of the Revenue, Treasurer, Commonwealth's Attorney, and potentially Board of Supervisors seats depending on the district rotation schedule. School Board members for Isle of Wight County Public Schools are also elected, with the area falling in the Windsor School Board District. Virginia election records that are public include voter registration lists (with restrictions on use for commercial purposes), campaign finance reports filed with the Virginia Department of Elections and accessible at www.elections.virginia.gov/candidatepac-info/index.html, candidate filings and ballot access petitions, and precinct-level election results. The State Board of Elections publishes detailed election results broken down by locality and precinct shortly after each election. Virginia allows absentee voting both by mail and in-person early voting. Any registered voter may request an absentee ballot without providing an excuse. Absentee ballot applications can be submitted online through the citizen portal, by mail, or in person at the General Registrar's office. The application deadline is 11 days before the election for mail ballots. In-person early voting (absentee voting in person) begins 45 days before the election and runs through the Saturday before Election Day at the General Registrar's office in Isle of Wight, with extended hours during the final weeks. Voters must present acceptable photo identification when voting in person, including Virginia driver's license, U.S. Passport, employer-issued photo ID, student ID from a Virginia institution, or other government-issued ID. Voters without ID may sign a statement and cast a provisional ballot.
