Democratic Primary 2021 In Kingstowne: When, Where To Vote

KINGSTOWNE, VA — Fairfax County voters will head to the polls Tuesday, June 8 to decide Democratic primary races for Virginia governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general, as well as House of Delegates primaries in select districts. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The primary will determine which Democratic Party candidates will appear on the Nov. 2 ballot. The Virginia Republican Party has already chosen its candidates for the Nov. 2 election during a May 8 convention.

How to Vote in the Primary Election

Residents registered to vote in Virginia can vote in Tuesday's primary election by visiting their polling place between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. Voters who are in line by 7 p.m. will be allowed to vote. Because Virginia voters are not registered with a party affiliation, any registered voter can vote in the Democratic primary.

Residents can look up their polling place and confirm they are registered to vote at www.elections.virginia.gov/citizen-portal. Voters may also see the maps of polling places in Fairfax County. An acceptable form of ID is required for in-person voting.

Voters who had requested an absentee ballot by mail must return the completed ballot to the Fairfax County Office of Elections by 7 p.m. on June 8 or have it postmarked by June 8 and received in the office by noon on June 11. Ballot drop boxes are also available to return a completed absentee ballot at all polling places on June 8 from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. A secure drop box under video surveillance is available outside the Fairfax County Government Center 24/7 or inside the building during regular business hours.

A new ordinance bans guns from all precincts in Fairfax County, whether they are in public locations, such as schools, or privately owned buildings.
