Loudoun County voters will go to the polls Tuesday, June 11, 2019, for a primary election. Here are six important things Loudoun County election officials would like voters to know before going to the polls:

1. Know When to Vote

Polls in Loudoun County will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, June 11, 2019. The last day to vote absentee in person is Saturday, June 8. Absentee voting is taking place at the Loudoun County Office of Elections and Voter Registration. Details are online at loudoun.gov/JunePrimary.

3. Bring Your Voter ID with You

Voters are required to show an acceptable form of photo identification at their precinct.  Acceptable forms of photo ID include a Virginia DMV-issued driver’s license, a U.S. passport, a student photo ID from a college or university located in Virginia, or a government-issued photo ID.  Voters who do not have one of these forms of photo ID are eligible for a free Virginia Voter Photo ID Card.

4. Know Which Ballot to Choose and What Races are on the Ballot
