New Kent citizens are reminded to make sure they are registered in the precinct in which they live in order to be qualified to vote.

In order to vote in the Nov. 3 general/special election, citizens are to be registered no later than Tuesday, Oct. 13, 5 p.m. at the voter registration officer, located inside the Health & Human Serivce building, located at 7911 Courthouse Way, Suite 400, New Kent.

The office is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Absentee voting is now being accepted, with the last day for mailed applications Oct. 27. The voter registration office will also be open on Saturday, Oct. 24 and Saturday, Oct. 31 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. to accept in person applications for an absentee ballot.

All requests for reasonable accommodations due to a disability should be made to the registrar with at least a 48-hour notice. All voters must present one photo ID to vote. If you do not have a photo ID, contact the local registration office for a free photo ID for voting purposes only.
