Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting and official Virginia sources.
Virginia’s voter registration system and deadlines are handled by the Virginia Department of Elections. For the most current announcements, including registration deadlines and any extensions, check their news releases and the state elections site.[1]
In 2024 there were high-profile legal actions related to purging voters who were alleged noncitizens; a federal judge required restoration of about 1,600 voter registrations that had been canceled during that period.

Verify the exact deadline on the state elections site or by contacting your local registrar.[2][3]
