Even if you’ve been registered for years and plan to vote on Election Day, voters and advocates said it’s important to check your registration now to make sure it's correct.

Jack Ezzel said he found an error with his social security number when he checked his voter registration.

“There was a problem with my record and I really didn’t exist," he said.

Ezzel said a local election official quickly fixed it, but voters need to make sure everything is set.

“Don’t wait until the last moment, check now and make sure it’s corrected in the system.”

You can check your registration online at the Virginia Department of Elections' website.

Voters can get registration documents in-person at registrar's offices, libraries, DMV customer service centers, and other government offices.
