In person absentee voting at the Northampton County Registrar’s Office, located at 16404 Courthouse Rd. in Eastville is scheduled for September 29 thru October 31 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
In-person absentee voting will be a little different this year due to new legislation and our continuing efforts vote safely during Covid-19 restrictions.
The new legislation allows voters to vote in person before the election without having to have a reason or excuse. So, voters will not have to fill out an application to vote in person, as was done in the past. Voters will now simply show their ID at the check in desk and then vote. New legislation has also ended the requirement to have a photo ID to vote. Your best bet is still a Virginia drivers license, which is valid even if expired. The voter ID list below details your other options.

Covid-19 restrictions are still in effect for the Northampton County Administration Building, so a mask is required to enter the building to vote. If you do not have a mask on, or if you are not wearing it properly, you will vote outside. This is not up for debate. On the porch leading to the voting entrance, you will see markers for social distancing. Your cooperation with these Covid-19 restrictions will help us run a more orderly election and keep the line moving.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR A GREAT EARLY VOTING EXPERIENCE
- Enter the building using the walk way that leads to the porch facing the Eastville Inn. There will be signs to help you.
- Wear a mask and bring a valid ID.
- We are still offering curbside voting. Please have your helper come into our office and show us your ID, and we will bring the ballot to you in the car.

- Please respect your fellow voters so we can all have an enjoyable time voting.

Great instructions, should answer everyone’s questions. Staff is polite and helpful too. Voting has never been easier!
The Democrats want you to vote early so you are not swayed by Joe’s performance at the debates. Also they fear what will come out on Joe during the corruption investigation into allegations of extortion by Biden and his son.
I’m a Republican. Lonely for me amidst all the Luria signs here in the Shore.
Actually there are some new voter rules and directions for ID. Without ID, you can bring in a bill with your name or address as well as many other pieces of verification. Check with Mr. Flynn at the Registrar’s office for Northampton County. New updates came out recently.
Funny how some folks (democrats?) push for making it easier to find the time to vote, but didn’t make another real improvement at the same time. It turns out most of the early voting, except unsolicited mail in, is being done right so I have no problem with the early in person voting. We are all a little busier these days enjoying our good American life. As long as this has been done though though, you’d think they’d realize it is no longer necessary to give government workers the entire election day off from work to vote so they could get another day’s work done. naaaaaaaahh. can’t do that. Then they’d sound like, and be acting like republicans.
Still like that big government making decisions easier and less productive, don’t they ? THAT is why Trump is disliked.

Hey, you too?
I was thinking that exact same thing myself, but you know, not being sure of myself, I was hesitating saying something out of fear I didn’t have it right, or I would be going up against what the crowd wanted, but here you are, right out in plain sight saying the same thing, so now, I’m joining you and saying right out loud that I think you have hit the nail square on the head.
