What We Do
The Voter Registrar office conducts elections for voters in the City of Harrisonburg. We are responsible for registering voters, mailing ballots to voters who request them, conducting in person voting, and training election officers to assist voters at the polls. To make that happen, our staff adheres to more than 400 pages of Virginia Code and works with hundreds of members of your community. We work to ensure that elections are fair, safe, and accurate.
Our work is overseen by the Harrisonburg Electoral Board, a 3-member board compromised of members from both political parties. The Board is responsible for hiring the General Registrar, appointing election officers, certifying elections, and various other duties. They meet routinely and meetings are posted on the website and open to the public.
