The line for early voting in the Fairfield area of Virginia Beach on Oct. 23, 2020. WAVY News 10’s Katie Collett was in this line and says she waited for more than an hour before it was her turn to vote.

Millions of voters cast their ballots ahead of Election Day on November 3. Many are calling this an historic election, with record-breaking voter registration and early voting numbers.

WAVY.com November 2025 Voter Guide

This is Virginia’s first election allowing people to vote early in-person, or by mail, without a reason. The Board of Elections predicts half of all eligible voters will have voted by Election Day.

The last day for early, in-person voting was Saturday, Oct. 31 in both Virginia and North Carolina.

If you plan to vote my mail, ballots must be postmarked by Election Day.

Election Day Poll Hours

Virginia – Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.

North Carolina – Polls open at 6:30 a.m. and close at 7:30 p.m.

As long as you are in line by the closing time, you will be able to vote.
