Presidential Primary Coming Up !

• Did you know it is a Virginia law that all voters need to show one acceptable photo identification card (photo ID) whenever voting in person?

• Did you know that voter registration is not party-specific and Virginia has open primaries, so you do not need to be a registered Democrat to vote in a Democratic Presidential Primary?

• Did you know that our voting place is Massanutten Presbyterian Church, 50 Indian Trail Rd, Penn Laird?

Here is some other critical information about Virginia’s Democratic Presidential Primary that will be held on Tuesday, March 3 from 6 AM – 7 PM:
