Delegate Matt Fariss

With just over a month until the next general election, I wanted to give my constituents the resources available to register to vote or make changes to their voter record.  If you are not currently registered to vote, and in order to vote in the November 3^rd General Election, you must register to vote no later than Tuesday October 13, 2016 by 5p.m.

The 59^th district that I represent includes 5 counties, all with separate registrar’s offices. Albemarle County’s Voter Registration Office, located in Charlottesville, maintains the office hours of 8:30a.m. to 5:00p.m. and can be telephoned at (434)972-4173. Appomattox County’s Voter Registration Office hours are from 8:30a.m. to 11:25a.m. and 12:30p.m. to 4:30p.m. and can be reached at (434)352-5302. Buckingham County’s Voter Registration Office hours are from 8:30a.m. to 4:30p.m. and can be reached at (434)969-4304. Campbell County’s Voter Registration Office is located in Rustburg with the office hours of 8:30a.m. to 5:00p.m. and can be reached at (434)332-9579 . Nelson County’s Voter Registration Office hours are 9:00a.m. to 5:00p.m. and can be reached at (434)263-4068.

Applications for absentee ballots can also be obtained by your county’s Registrar Office. The last day that an absentee ballot application can be accepted by mail is October 27^th and October 31^st if done so in person. You may also register or update and view your voter record at www.vote.virginia.gov. Remember, a good citizen registers and votes.

Last Wednesday marked the 25^th year of “See You at the Pole.” According to the See you at the Pole website, more than 3 million students in more than 20 countries observe the day. “See You at the Pole” started in 1990 through the initiative of a youth group in Burleson, Texas. That year, more than 56,000 students in 1,200 campuses in Texas and three other states held the first “See You at the Pole” in September 1990.  “See You at the Pole” is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event. Any positive activity for our youth of the community, I am in full support of.

If you have any concerns, questions, comments or issues that I or my Aide, Jenna, can help you with, please contact us at (434)821-5929 or email at [email protected]

Thank You!
