Every two years, the Virginia Department of Elections removes inactive voters<\/strong> from the voter registration rolls of every Virginia locality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reportedly, a voter\u2019s registration is purged only after an inactive voter fails to respond to repeated<\/strong> mailers from the Virginia Department of Elections requesting an address verification and then fails to vote at all during two<\/strong> Federal Election Cycles following the initial mailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January 2019, the Virginia Department of Elections removed 721 inactive voters from the City of Manassas voter registration roll<\/strong><\/a> and 302 inactive voters from the City of Manassas Park voter registration roll<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2017, the Virginia Department of Elections removed 1,592 inactive voters from the City of Manassas voter registration roll<\/strong><\/a> and 196 inactive voters from the City of Manassas Park voter registration roll<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might want to check if your name is on one of the four lists linked above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These lists of purged voters are organized by numbered<\/strong> voting precincts, and for the City of Manassas those numbers reflect the new<\/strong><\/em>\n (starting in 2017) voting precinct boundaries, not the precinct \nboundaries from prior years.  The precinct codes for each city are as \nfollows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PCT   <\/strong> Manassas Polling Location<\/strong>
\n0001   Dean Elementary School
\n0002   Weems Elementary School
\n0003   Metz Middle School
\n0004   Haydon Elementary School
\n0005   Baldwin Elementary School
\n0006   Round Elementary School<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PCT   <\/strong> Manassas Park Polling Location<\/strong>
\n0001   Manassas Park High School
\n0002   Costello Park Community Center
\n0003   Manassas Park City Hall<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you should find yourself or anyone else improperly purged from a registered voter roll, please let us and the City of Manassas General Registrar<\/a><\/strong> or the Manassas Park General Registrar<\/strong><\/a> know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best and easiest way to verify that your voter registration is still valid is to review your voter record at the Virginia Department of Elections voter portal,<\/strong><\/a> after entering your name, date of birth, locality, and last four digits of your social security number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
