Virginia’s general election is Nov. 8, but residents can cast their ballots now. 

Early in-person voting at local registrars' offices began Friday, Sept. 23 and will be available until Saturday, Nov. 5. 

Voters do not need to have a reason to vote early but will need to give their name and address and either show identification or sign an ID confirmation statement.

More early voting locations will open as Election Day approaches. 

More info on early voting can be found on the Department of Elections website. Go here to check your registration status, find your polling place or apply to vote absentee by mail.

NBC News also has a tool that allows people to review their states' voting rules, including whether early voting and voting by mail are available. You can also check your state's ID requirements for voting. Check out the tool online at NBCNews.com/PlanYourVote.
