Virginia Republicans are gearing up their new early-voting marketing campaign and process in hopes of gaining an edge over Democrats in the upcoming Nov. 7 Assembly elections.
and other party leaders are backing an effort aimed at increasing early in-person and absentee voting among Republicans and independent voters as part of a push to flip the state Senate that Democrats now control by a two-seat margin.
Other than going to the website Republicans have set up, Virginia voters can sign up to cast their ballots early by adding their names to the permanent absentee ballot list. Voters on the permanent list don’t have to request an absentee ballot every election cycle. For every primary election and every general election, the state and local office of elections registrar will automatically mail those on the permanent list a ballot. Voters on the list are then able to track their ballots in a manner similar to tracking an Amazon package.
“I signed up for it. And I got an email with a text message on my cellphone the next day, saying you’re now in the program. We postmarked the ballot to your home address today,” Mr.“The next day I got a text message. The ballot is out for delivery to your mailbox later the same day. I got another text. ‘The ballot is in your mailbox.’ I trudged up my driveway, And guess what? The ballot was in there,” he said.
“I took it down. I filled it out, sealed the envelope, put it back in the mailbox. Next day, I got another text. It’s en route to the office of elections. Next day I got one, it says it’s in the office and your ballot has been cast.”
