YOUR FUTURE. YOUR VOTE.
ELECTION DAY: NOVEMBER 7, 2023
Why you should vote this year in Blacksburg
As a Virginia Tech student, you’re likely eligible to vote in the November 7th election for House of Delegates District 41. This is a battleground district, meaning it could be decided by one vote.
Registering to vote in Virginia won’t affect your scholarship, taxes, insurance, or vehicle registration. You have the right to vote here as a college student if you’re an eligible Virginia voter.
Make your voice heard by voting! Here’s how:
How to vote
STEP 1: GET YOUR INFO
Make sure you know your full name, full social security number, and have a photo ID (your Hokie Passport counts as a valid form of ID!) handy when you’re getting ready to vote. Virginia Tech is located in Montgomery County, Virginia.
STEP 2: CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION
In Virginia, you don’t have to be pre-registered to vote. But it’s up to you to make sure you show up at the correct polling place on Election Day! Visit vote.elections.virginia.gov/VoterInformation to check your registration.

If you don't have a photo ID, no worries - you can still cast a ballot by signing an ID confirmation form.
Are you going to register on Election Day and vote here for the first time?

Meet Lily
I’ll never forget the moment I graduated college. Even though I had worked 18 hours days to pay my way through college, I graduated with $5.66 in my bank account, $423 on my credit card, and stuck with significant college debt. Luckily before I left for college, I put $20 dollars in my turtle "piggy" bank so I'd have gas money until my first pay day. That $20 paid for the gas to get me to my interview with Teach for America. I landed that job and headed off to teach High School in Appalachia.
I quickly learned that the struggles I faced were the rule, and not the exception. My students faced worse struggles. Our communities' struggles are only getting worse. This led me to head back to my hometown to serve as the Chief of Staff for State Representative Sam Rasoul. This is where I learned to wrestle legislative victories to help our community.
Now, I'm running for office because we need more young people elected who understand the struggles facing our society and people willing to fight for them. I hope you will join me in claiming this district!
