The Virginia voter registration deadline is October 6th, and that date is fast approaching, it is only a week from tomorrow. If you live here in Virginia, and aren't sure whether you are registered to vote or not, you can check that online. Loudoun County's website has a lot of great information about voting and the upcoming election. If you want to know about the voting machines, absentee ballots or what ballot measures will be in the booth this year, the site will tell you.If you aren't registered, the Obama Campaign will help you get registered.
While my friend and I were canvassing yesterday, we ran into a gentleman from Gainesville who had recently moved to Leesburg. He had not yet registered to vote locally, so we had him fill out a registration form. If not for that door knock, it is highly likely he would not have registered in time, and not had the opportunity to vote in November.
Don't take a chance, make sure you're registered today, and if you're not, get registered.

This site was really helpful, Thanks!! I was about to go to the voter registration office to verify this myself, and you saved me a lot of time.
Given all the concerns/history of Republican "caging" practices this would be a cool thing to do for ID'd Obama supporters as we meet them canvasing or contact them on the phone. I'm adding the link to my iPhone so I can offer to verify registration information for those that I meet.
I totally agree, since we CAN verify our registration here, we should get everyone one we can do to so.
