Earls says you can early vote in Tazewell County at the Tazewell County Office of Voter Registration Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 pm as well as the two Saturdays before the Nov. 5 general election.

Virginia’s 45-day early voting period starts Friday, which is one of the longest in the country. Senator Aaron Rouse is chairman of the committee that oversees voting laws in Virginia, and he says Democrats will continue to reject Republican efforts to roll back early voting.

Virginia voters can begin casting ballots in the presidential race and local elections. While the general election is on Nov. 5, early in-person voting begins Friday at all general registrar’s offices and will continue until Nov.
