Tuesday, November 3, is the 2020 presidential election.
The deadline to register to vote, or update an existing registration, is Tuesday, October 13. (You cannot register and vote on the same day; it takes a few days, and you must get confirmation that you're registered, either in the mail or you can check online.)
Early absentee-in-person voting begins Friday, Sept. 18, and ends Sat., Oct. 31. There are three Saturdays when registrars will have Saturday in-person voting: Sept. 19, Oct. 24, and Oct. 31.

If you have already requested a mail-in ballot, those won't be mailed out until Sept. 18, so wait until Sept. 25 to expect to receive it, or to send in another request
NOTE: Several new rules have just in September been signed into law by Governor Northam and some rules are extensions of changes made for the June primaries: *No-excuse early voting *No witness requirement for mail-in ballot *No witness signature required on ballot envelope *No PHOTO ID required; first-time voters will need to show one of these forms of ID *Election Day is a state holiday *Automatic voter registration through DMV *Polls will close at 8pm, not 7pm as in years past *Expanded timeline for absentee voting (Any absentee ballot returned to the general registrar after the closing of the polls on Election Day but before noon on the third day after the election and postmarked on or before the date of the election shall be counted if the voter is found entitled to vote.)
