LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — The Loudoun County Office of Elections and Voter Registration is encouraging voters to cast absentee ballots in the upcoming May elections in the towns of Hamilton, Lovettsville, Middleburg, Purcellville and Round Hill to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, or COVID-19. Absentee voting for the May 5 town elections begins Friday.
Because of the coronavirus crisis, Virginia is allowing anyone who wants to vote absentee in the May elections to choose the reason “2A-My disability or illness” for absentee voting. Voters who choose the absentee option should do so as soon as possible so they can get their ballots in time to return them by mail by election day, the Loudoun Office of Elections said. Voters may apply online for an absente ballot.
For in-person absentee voting in the May town elections, Loudoun County is allowing only curbside voting at the Office of Elections and Voter Registration, 750 Miller Drive SE in Leesburg.
