Virginia Beach’s Voter Registrar’s Office is moving to a brand-new location at 500 Studio Drive, near Mount Trashmore Park — just off Independence Boulevard. The Municipal Center office will close at 5 p.m. on Feb. 18 and reopen at the new site Feb. 23, with temporary closures Feb. 19–20 while staff and equipment transition. During the move, you can still register to vote or update your information online, at a local DMV, or via paper applications available at libraries and other community sites. Operating hours, phone number, and email stay the same, and there’s plenty of parking at the new location. This move aims to make voter services more accessible and organized for our growing city.
