RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - There's one week left to apply for a mail-in absentee ballot for Virginia's Republican presidential primary on March 6.
The State Board of Elections says applications for mail-in absentee ballots must be submitted by 5 p.m. Feb. 28. Applications can be submitted to the voter's local general registrar's office in-person, by mail, fax, or scanned email attachment. March 3 is the deadline for voters to apply and vote absentee in-person.
Voters must meet one of 18 eligibility requirements in order to vote absentee. The requirements are listed on the absentee ballot application and on the board's website, www.sbe.virginia.gov. Only two candidates - Mitt Romney and Ron Paul - qualified to appear on the Virginia ballot.
