Press release:Â
Michele White, Prince William County’s Director of Elections, is encouraging those who have the ability to vote absentee to consider doing so. Five absentee vote centers will be open tomorrow Saturday October 29 from 8:30am to 5:00pm.
Voting in person at an Absentee Vote Center is just like voting on Election Day. Voters are checked in by presenting a valid Photo ID and asked to fill out a short application. After check in voters are given their paper ballot and directed to a booth to mark their ballot. After marking their ballot, voters simply insert their ballot in the voting equipment to be scanned. Voters should look for the American Flag. The screen will say “Your vote has been recorded. Thank you for voting.”
One voter, after casting his ballot at the McCoart Absentee Vote Center commented that voting “was quick and painless!”
All absentee vote centers are open between 8:30 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturdays. The last day to vote at an Absentee Vote Center is Saturday November 5, 2016, 8:30am to 5:00pm.
