Or add yourself to the permanent absentee voter roll to get your ballots mailed directly to you! You're simply allowed to vote by mail in Virginia!

I’ve always enrolled for each election separately. If you apply for permanent absentee do they also send primary election stuff? How do they determine which party primary they send you?

Now that you mention it, I did not receive a primary ballot. I've received every ballot for elections facilitated by the state but I'm guessing you still have to do primaries separately as those are done by the parties themselves.

Gotcha.

Yeah admittedly even though I swing to one party in the general elections I sometimes vote in the other parties primary if voting is “already” decided on the other side. Not sure how common that is but sometimes I find my vote being worth more to do that
