Chesapeake Voter Registration & Elections

The Chesapeake Office of Voter Registration & Elections (General Registrar) manages voter registration, absentee and early voting, and elections for the city.

Services

Register to vote, update your address or name, request an absentee ballot, vote early, and find your polling place and sample ballot. Virginia residents can register and check their status online through the Virginia Department of Elections.

Key deadlines

Registration deadlines apply before each election, though same-day registration is available with a provisional ballot. Check current deadlines and your registration status well ahead of election day.
