Fairfax County opened thirteen new early voting locations, giving voters more opportunities to cast their early votes ahead. Virginia has seen 86% more early ballots cast already this year than during the entire early voting season in 2016. In the first two days of early voting, Fairfax County alone saw an increase in ballots of roughly 208% compared to the first two days of early voting in 2016. The new voting locations will alleviate wait times and give Fairfax residents plenty of options of where to cast their ballots. In addition, the Fairfax County Government Center currently provides a 24-hour drop-box.

Election officials strongly recommend that voters curbside vote at the Fairfax County Government Center where there are 20 spaces set aside. Other early voting locations may only have one or two spaces available because their parking lots are smaller compared to the Fairfax County Government Center.

At the Fairfax County Government Center, curbside voters should park in the marked spaces in the parking lot in front of the building’s left-hand side. Poll workers are outside ready to assist these voters. These procedures may change during inclement weather though.

The county warns that regardless of where voters choose to curbside vote, they should still expect significant waits.
