Keep in mind that this vote uses the PRE 2024 district lines and not the new ones that will be used this November. There was a lot of confusion at the primary for this.

Maybe I’m blind, but I’m not seeing when the mail in ballots will be sent out through the USPS?

Same link as above: https://rva.gov/elections/voting

Go to the drop down menu under 'Vote By Mail'. If you are part of the "Permanent Vote By Mail Roster", then they should be heading to you shortly. If not, then you will need to request a ballot from the Office of Elections...which the Office of Elections states on their site that "The deadline to apply for an absentee ballot for the March 28th 2023 Special Election is March 17th 2023."

Weird, because this is literally my copy/paste of the vote by mail section that best I can tell makes no mention of when ballots are going out by mail:

> Voters can request an absentee ballot online, in person at the Office of Elections, by fax (804-646-7848), or by email (Absentee@rva.gov).

>Prefer the ease and comfort of voting from home? Virginia law allows voters the option to join a Permanent Vote By Mail Roster and have their ballots sent directly to their preferred address ahead of every election.

>Click here to apply to Vote By Mail and join the Permanent Roster. Make sure you complete section 3 of the application. You can access the paper absentee application here.

>The deadline to apply for an absentee ballot for the March 28th 2023 Special Election is March 17th 2023.

>All absentee ballots, those sent by mail and those cast in-person, are counted on Election Day in Virginia. Ballots must be postmarked by Election Day or dropped off at the Office of Elections no later than 7:00 p.m. on Election Day.

>IMPORTANT – Please mark your ballot using a black or blue pen.

>What if I received an absentee ballot by mail but I want to vote in person?

>1. Return your un-voted ballot by mail. • Leave or reseal your un-voted ballot in Envelope A and mail using the pre‐addressed return envelope. • You will receive a new ballot when you go to vote in person. >2. Take your un-voted ballot with you when you go to vote early in person or on Election Day.

>Important! If you lost your absentee ballot, you can still vote in person. Notify the election official when you come in person to vote. If you choose to vote in person and do not return your un-voted ballot, you will be offered a provisional ballot which will be reviewed for counting after Election Day.

Eh, just got a little concerned that I haven’t seen anything yet about it, and the deadline is so close. Permanent mail-in voting has been a game changer for us and would never go back willingly.
