If I am put in the hospital shortly before the election, can I vote?

Yes, if you are a registered voter in Virginia and,

  • You are put in the hospital on or after the Thursday before an election.
  • You go to the hospital in the two weeks before election and your condition prevents you from requesting an application sooner than the Thursday before the election.

Call your voter registrar before noon on the day before the election ask for an emergency absentee ballot application. You will need someone age 18 or older to pick up the application for you and return it completed.
