弗吉尼亚州选民登记本周截止 已有近80万张选票提前投出
据 WHRO 公共媒体10月21日报道，本周是弗吉尼亚州新选民登记的截止周；不过选民仍可通过当日登记（same-day registration），在11月3日投票站关闭前登记并投出临时选票（provisional ballot）。
弗吉尼亚跨信仰公共政策中心的 Robert Lester 表示，邮寄登记的选民须注意邮戳日期：只有在10月23日前亲自把登记表送到邮局柜台、要求工作人员加盖当日邮戳，才能保证该日期，仅投入邮筒不能保证。弗吉尼亚州妇女选民联盟主席 Joan Porte 表示，选民登记时可选择永久缺席选票，此后每次选举选票都会自动寄到家中；不想邮寄投票时，也可带票到投票站处理。
截至目前，本次选举已有近80万张选票投出，提前投出的选票数约为2022年中期选举同期的近两倍。
Virginia Voter Registration Deadline This Week, Nearly 800,000 Ballots Already Cast
This week is the deadline for new voters to register to vote in Virginia, although people can still register the same day and cast a provisional ballot all the way up until the polls close on November 3, WHRO Public Media reported on October 21.
Robert Lester of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy said voters mailing a registration form should note that the only way to get the October 23 date is to take the registration to the U.S. Postal Service counter and ask staff to hand-stamp it with that date. Joan Porte, president of the League of Women Voters of Virginia, said that when registering, voters can take the option of a permanent absentee ballot sent to their address in every election; if they decide not to vote by mail, they can bring the ballot in, and the registrars will know what to do with it.
Almost 800,000 votes have already been cast in this election, almost twice as many early votes as had been cast at this point in the 2022 midterm election.
