In-Person Early Voting (November 4, 2025)

November 4, 2025 - General and Special Elections

CLOSED

In-person early voting has now closed for the November 4, 2025, Election.

If you have received a mailed ballot, it may still be returned through the mail as long as it is postmarked by Nov. 4 and received by noon on Nov. 7. Alternatively, you may drop it off 24/7 at the ballot drop-off box in front of the Fairfax County Government Center before 7 p.m. on Election Day, or on Nov. 4 at the drop box located at any precinct polling place between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.

You may vote in person only at your precinct polling place on Nov. 4 from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Same-day registration will be available only at your precinct polling place, where you will complete a provisional ballot.
