Voters in the city elections in Waynesboro and Staunton scheduled for May are being encouraged to vote absentee.
The Virginia Department of Elections is strongly encouraging absentee voting, advising voters to use reason 2A, “my disability or illness,” citing COVID-19 as the reason.
Voters who choose the absentee option should do so as soon as possible so they can get their ballots in time to return them by mail by Election Day.
