‘We take this very seriously’: Social media post creates confusion over Virginia’s votes

Read full article: ‘We take this very seriously’: Social media post creates confusion over Virginia’s votes

FINCASTLE, Va. – Some Virginia voters doubted if their votes had been counted on Election Day after a viral, but misleading, social media post. The post claimed some votes were ignored by the Commonwealth based on a section of the Virginia Department of Elections' voter information page. “Different offices across the state are different sizes and have different numbers of staff, which means they move at different paces.”The Virginia Department of Elections also used social media to counter the claims about the ballots. Clark hopes voters understand there is no need to worry about a ballot once it is in the system. “We’ve probably been working anywhere from 10 to 16 hour days at the election office," Clark said.

Read full article: Virginians, here’s how you can track your absentee mail-in ballot

New this year is an online tracker that allows voters to follow their ballots every step of the way. From your request to your ballot’s arrival at your local registrar’s office, you’ll be able to follow your ballot’s journey. This is the first year that all Virginia mail-in ballots will have a barcode on the envelope, which is what allows them to be tracked. The deadline to request absentee mail-in ballots is Oct. 23. Ballots must be postmarked on or by Election Day and received by the registrar’s office by noon on Nov. 6.
