By: Orange County Communications Department
Election Day, November 7, 2023, will soon be here. This election will be very impactful at the local level; Orange County voters will determine the winners of ten contested races. Actual positions on a resident ’ s ballot will vary depending on their voting district, but positions to be decided include: Clerk of the Court; Commissioner of the Revenue; Commonwealth ’ s Attorney; Gordonsville Town Council; School Board Members for Districts 2, 3, and 4; Sheriff, Soil and Water Director; Supervisors for Districts 2, 3, 4, and 5; and Treasurer.
While November 7 is Election Day, there will be many opportunities for early voting before that date. Beginning September 22, residents may visit the Voter Registration Office at 146 North Madison Road, Suite 204, Orange, VA to submit their ballot. In - person voting hours at this location will be Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Additionally, the same location will offer early voting on two Saturdays, October 28 and November 4, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. November 4 will be the LAST day for in - person early voting. Absentee voting will be available for over a month, but the final day to request a mailed ballot will be Friday, October 27. Those needing to register, or make changes to their registration, must do so by Monday, October 16. Remember, Orange County ’ s districts were recently updated as part of the decennial redistricting.
