Voting issues? Here's how you can report problems at the polls

NORFOLK, Va. — Voters in Virginia are heading to the polls for Tuesday's primary election, ahead of the November midterms.

While turnout is typically lower in primaries, issues can always arise at polling precincts.

First, you should verify you are registered to vote. In Virginia, you can look up and verify your information using the State Department of Elections' online Citizen Portal.

The Virginia Department of Elections says that if you get turned away from voting because you went to the wrong polling location, you will need to vote at the polling location that is associated with the voter registration address.

However, if you were turned away for any other reason, return to the polling location and ask to vote with a provisional ballot.
