Stafford Voter Registrar Anna Hash is asking for the public’s patience as elections officials complete their jobs. When a person votes, two things happen: the vote is counted and the individual is given credit on the state election website. The vote is counted right away but the state website can take a couple of days to give voters credit. Understandably, tallying the votes is the first and most important job.
If you voted in person on election day, your vote was counted immediately. Ballots are counted when they go into the scanner. To check that you received credit for voting, visit the state elections website at www.vote.elections.virginia.gov. Click on “Check Registration Status” and login with your identifying information. Check your “Voter History” to see if you have credit for voting in the 2020 Election. Voter credit means you simply appeared to vote. It is a separate process from whether your vote counted or not.
