NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – Early voting for the June primaries starts today. The primaries will determine who will appear on the ballot for the general election in November.

If you want to vote early in the June primaries, you have from May 2 until June 14 at your local voter registration office.

 “So, most localities in this 757 are having just a Democratic Party primary election,” said Norfolk Director of Elections and General Registrar, Stephanie Iles.

 Registered voters can vote in any primary election in their precinct. All 133 Virginia counties and cities have Democratic primaries, but only 31 will have a Republican primary.

 “There are a couple of localities that are having a dual party primary, meaning both parties, Democratic and Republican, are having their election on the same day. And in those cases in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, they’re going to ask you which ballot style you would like so that you could vote for the candidates of your choice,” said Iles. 

 If you want to cast a ballot, make sure you bring your voter ID. That could be your driver’s license, military ID, passport or any form of a photo ID.

 “We will have two Saturdays of early voting before the election, June 7th and June 14th. The last day to vote early will be June 14th,” said Iles. 

 You have 45 days to vote early. Primary Day is June 17th. 

“So you can register to vote, you can check your voter registration, you can apply for an absentee ballot by mail, or you can request to become an officer of election simply by downloading the My Norfolk app,” said Iles.
