Voters Urged to Vote By Mail
Source: Letter-to-the Editor, Goochland Gazette, May 20,2020
Editor, The Gazette
For the past two decades we have noted Goochland’s first-in-the-Commonwealth voter turnout and asked voters to thank the Officers of Election who have worked so tirelessly to ensure their access to the ballot box.
The potential for transmission of the COVID 19 virus creates a hazard for our Officers of Election despite every effort that we will make to ensure their safety, including masks, sanitizers, physical barriers and social distancing.
The most effective step we can take is to encourage all voters to cast their ballot by mail. You do not have to come to the polling place to vote in person.
If you plan to participate in the Republican Party Primary on June 23 we encourage you to cast your ballot by mail from the safety of your own home. All voters are now permitted to cast an Absentee Ballot using the reason code (2a) “My disability or illness.”
You may request an Absentee Ballot be sent to you by mail, mark it, and return it to the Registrar’s Office before election day. Applications are available at the Registrar’s Office or may be downloaded from the state website https://www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-a-ballot/absentee-voting/. You may even request an Absentee Ballot application by telephone: 804-556-5308.
After the election, you can verify on the state website that your ballot was cast.
In-person Absentee voting began on May 8 at the Registrar’s Office, 1800 Sandy Hook Road, and will continue until 5 pm, Saturday, June 20. The office door, facing Rt. 522, will be open even though the Administration Building is closed to the public.
Voting precincts will be open as usual from 6 am to 7 pm on Tuesday June 23, but there may be significant delays caused by our precautions to ensure public safety and reduce exposure to the virus.
You can do your part to increase the safety of our Officers of Election — and your fellow voters — by casting an Absentee Ballot by mail. We urge you to do so.
