Voting in Virginia
Virginia’s own Patrick Henry famously said, “Give me liberty or give me death”. But two-hundred years later and Virginians aren’t exercising many of those key liberties, including voting. And as long as Virginians continue not to vote, they risk being saddled with a General Assembly that doesn’t represent them. We can’t let that happen.
Every Vote in Every District Matters
WinVirginia is committed to funding and supporting Democrats across Virginia, no matter how red the district. That’s because every vote in every district matters in ensuring a lasting democratic majority.
How to Vote in 2023
Virginia made history in 2019 by finally flipping both chambers of the General Assembly. For the first time in over 25 years, Democrats controlled the legislature along with the governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general. 2023 will be an important year, and we have to be ready to fight – and more importantly, vote.

Voting Rights Restoration
Virginia’s constitution strips convicted felons of key rights, but grants the Governor discretion to restore these rights on a case-by-case basis. Virginia’s last three governors have all expedited this process, with McAuliffe alone restoring rights to over 13,000 people. To request your rights to be restored, click the link below.
Voter ID
Virginia requires a photo ID to vote, but this doesn’t have to be a driver’s license. You can also use any state or Federal government ID, a Veteran’s ID, or even a student card issued by a college or university in Virginia. To find out more about what forms of ID are acceptable, click below.
