Goochland Residents to Receive Virginia Department of Elections Voter Registration Notice 

In the next couple of weeks, Goochland residents will be receiving a mailer explaining the changes in their Congressional, State Senate, and House of Delegates districts. Please note that this mailer may not reflect all changes to precinct/polling places. As Goochland County will not be holding a primary election in June, any local changes will take place prior to the November election. Here is an example of what the mailer will look like:

Once the Virginia Department of Elections has completed the adjustments, some voters will receive a second mailer with updated precinct/polling places.  Voters can find accurate Electoral Voting Districts, Precinct, and Polling place information by utilizing the interactive web application on Goochland County’s website at https://www.goochlandva.us/1191/Redistricting.  We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion that this may cause.  Please contact the Goochland Registrar’s office at (804) 556-5803 with any question or concerns.
