RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - There's one week left to apply for a mail-in absentee ballot for Virginia's Republican presidential primary on March 6.
The State Board of Elections says applications for mail-in absentee ballots must be submitted by 5 p.m. Feb. 28. Applications can be submitted to the voter's local general registrar's office in-person, by mail, fax, or scanned email attachment.
March 3 is the deadline for voters to apply and vote absentee in-person.
Voters must meet one of 18 eligibility requirements in order to vote absentee. The requirements are listed on the absentee ballot application and on the board's website, www.sbe.virginia.gov .
Only two candidates - Mitt Romney and Ron Paul - qualified to appear on the Virginia ballot.
