How to watch the Collegian’s election night coverage

Today is Election Day. As voters head to the polls across Virginia, the Collegian will be covering election results live as they unfold. Here’s how to watch our coverage of this year's elections. 

Starting at 6 p.m., the Collegian will be publishing a live blog directly on our website as results come in. The blog will be following the executive and competitive General Assembly elections in Virginia. As the night goes on, the blog may also highlight other high-profile elections happening across the country alongside Virginia's.  

At 7 p.m., we start our joint broadcast with the Richmond Capital News Service on YouTube. We’ll be covering each Virginia executive race and control of the House of Delegates until it’s called. Previous election night broadcasts have ended in the early hours of Wednesday morning. 

Throughout the night, we'll also be publishing stories to the Collegian and the Richmond Capital News Service websites when major races are called.

Polls close at 7 p.m. today. If you haven’t voted already and you live in a residence hall or live in University Forest Apartments 1200 to 2107, you can vote at the Jepson Alumni Center. Students living in UFA’s 100-1107 or in the Gateway Apartments can vote at Tuckahoe Elementary School on 701 Forest Ave. 

Virginia has same-day voter registration, according to the Virginia Department of Elections. If you aren’t registered to vote in Virginia, you can show up at a polling place and fill out a provisional ballot, registering to vote on election day. 

Check back on the Collegian site this afternoon to see our first election updates.
