The county’s registered voters will head to the polls again Tuesday morning to elect a governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and representatives of the Virginia House of Delegates.
Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. All voters in line at 7 p.m. will be allowed to cast a ballot.
Pulaski County Registrar Kathy Webb said 21,141 county citizens are registered to vote in the general election.
While most county voters will cast their ballots in the same location as previous elections, those registered in the New River Precinct need to remember to go to the new polling place at Riverlawn Elementary School. The county recently voted to move that precinct’s polls from Fairlawn Fire Department to the new school, at the intersection of Peppers Ferry Boulevard (Route 114) and Viscoe Road.
To get to the new elementary school, take a right onto Viscoe road at the traffic light at Route 114 and Viscoe Road. Take the next right onto Beth Nelson Drive. Voter parking will be in the parking lots on your left in front of the school.
Votes will be cast in the community room, which is on the right after entering the front door.
Voters will find four races on their ballot Tuesday: governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and House of Delegates. In the House of Delegates race, voters registered in the Sixth House District will choose between Incumbent Republican Anne B. Crockett-Stark of Wytheville and Democratic candidate A. Carole Pratt of Dublin. Voters registered in the Seventh House District will choose between Republican Incumbent David A. “Dave” Nutter and Democratic candidate Peggy H. Frank, both of Christiansburg.
The race for governor has Republican Robert F. McDonnell of Richmond facing off against Charlottesville Democrat R. Creigh Deeds. Lietutenant governor candidates are William T. “Bill” Bolling, a Republican from Richmond, and Democrat Jody M. Wagner of Virginia Beach. The final choice on the state ballot is between attorney general candidates Ken T. Cuccinelli II of Fairfax, a Republican, and Democrat Stephen C. Shannon of Vienna.
