Local election officials in Virginia say the state’s website could be giving voters the false impression that they can still apply for a mail-in ballot to vote on Nov. 3.
That deadline passed Friday. But the state’s online portal is still allowing requests for mail-in ballots to vote in the year 2020.
And hundreds of people, if not more, have continued to submit applications.
The mail-in ballots will only be valid if a special election is called.
Many are choosing to vote early, whether that’s in-person or by mail.

If you do choose to vote in person, remember, you need a form of identification and you must be in line before 7 p.m.
