Are Virginia Elections Secure?

Check out this March 2026 article from C-VILLE Weekly about the important issue of ballot security in Virginia.

With election season arriving early in Virginia and amid the national debate over ballot security, local officials are pulling back the curtain on the elaborate, layered safeguards that protect every single vote. From tamper-evident seals and 24/7 surveillance to cross-checked Social Security numbers and paper ballot backups, the system may be more bulletproof than you think.

Empowering voters. Defending democracy.

Chartered in 1948, the League of Women Voters of the Fairfax Area encourages informed and active participation in government through education and advocacy.

We believe the freedom to vote is a nonpartisan issue and that citizen participation in elections is essential to a healthy democracy.
