Volunteer application

Take your seat

About four minutes. A coordinator in your county will follow up by phone, walk you through the role, and get you into training. Nothing here commits you to a shift.

1. About you

We use your phone more than your email — coordinators call.

First name *

Last name *

Email *

Mobile phone * Include area code

2. Where you can serve

Virginia has 133 voting localities — 95 counties and 38 independent cities — each with its own registrar and electoral board. Choose the one where you are registered.

County or city *

Which one *

Your precinct Optional — if you know it. Helps us place you close to home.

3. Eligibility

These are statutory requirements, not ours. The Code of Virginia requires officers of election and authorized representatives to be qualified voters.

I am at least 18 years old * I am a registered Virginia voter * Not registered yet? Register at the Department of Elections first, then come back — we would be glad to have you.
