Vote because it matters.
In the Catholic Tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation. (Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship). Did you know that 30% of the VA House & 25% of the Senate will be NEW to the General Assembly and historically as little as 28% of voters actually vote during an off year (president and governor not being elected). Do you want that 28% passing laws for you? Vote because this is your opportunity to make a difference, because your values are important because your voice matters.
Early Voting
Early Voting begins on September 22 and will end on November 4. Voting early is highly recommended because of its convenience and because it helps avoid potential conflicts on voting day (November 7). Ballots are submitted and counted same as on Election Day.
