Tomorrow (Friday) is the last day for Alexandrians to request a ballot by mail for the upcoming Nov. 5 general election.
According to the City of Alexandria website, applications must be received in the Voter Registration Office by 5 p.m. tomorrow.
Applications may be submitted online, by mail, fax or email to [email protected].
The general election this year includes a contest for President and Vice President, Senate, the 8th Congressional District to the House of Representatives, Mayor, City Council, School Board and a proposed constitutional amendment.
In Alexandria, Alyia Gaskins is running unopposed for mayor after securing the Democratic nomination in June.
Democratic City Council candidates are incumbents Canek Aguirre, Sarah Bagley, John Taylor Chapman and Kirk McPike, along with School Board members Abdel Elnoubi and Jacinta Greene. They’re running against Republican Celianna Gunderson and Independents Mason Butler and Roy Byrd.
None of the School Board races are competitive, with three candidates in each of the slots.
The proposed constitutional amendment asks:
Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended so that the tax exemption that is currently available to the surviving spouses of soldiers killed in action is also available to the surviving spouses of soldiers who died in the line of duty?
