There will be a General Election held on November 3, 2020 in Accomack County along with every state in the United States, but this year there will be more ways to cast a vote. . Accomack County Voter Registrar Patricia White reminds that voters in Accomack County will have the opportunity to cast their vote for President, Vice President, US Senate, US Representative and in five of our incorporated towns, Accomac, Bloxom, Melfa, Onley and Painter voters in those towns will be voting for Mayors and town council members as well as the offices mentioned above. The town of Parksley has a Special Election included on the ballot for their town voters to fill the unexpired council seat which became vacant when Frank Russell was election Mayor this past May.

Here are some important dates pertaining to the November election to mark on your calendars and ways in which you may vote:
