Election 2020

The Nov. 3, 2020 election will be historic:

• The first U.S. election to be held during a pandemic. The implications of holding a free and fair election will require massive preparation for absentee and mail-in voting, and huge infrastructure investments to ensure safe voting.

• The first Virginia election held after a Democratic legislature liberalized election laws, eliminating both the need for a photo ID before voting and having a state-accepted reason for voting absentee.
