Stony Creek voters: What to know before the Aug. 4 primary

Stony Creek voters have a final listed Saturday opportunity to vote before Virginia’s Aug. 4, 2026, primary. The Sussex County Registrar’s schedule sets early voting for Saturday, Aug. 1, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the registrar’s office, 15080 Courthouse Road in Stony Creek.

Election Day is Tuesday, Aug. 4. The approved Sussex County schedule lists polling hours from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters should confirm their exact polling place and ballot information with the Sussex County General Registrar or the Virginia Department of Elections before voting.

What Stony Creek voters should know

Stony Creek is an incorporated town in Sussex County, Virginia. The Sussex County General Registrar is the relevant local election authority, and its office is at 15080 Courthouse Road in Stony Creek.

The Aug. 1 schedule is the final listed Saturday early-voting opportunity for this election. Election Day voting follows on Aug. 4, with the county schedule listing hours of 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Because polling locations and ballot styles can vary by residence and election record, voters should verify the details that apply to them before leaving home.

Same-day registration is still available

Virginia’s regular voter-registration deadline for this election was July 24. Voters who missed that deadline may use same-day registration beginning July 25, but they must register and vote in person at the applicable early-voting site or polling place and cast a provisional ballot.

Same-day registration does not produce a regular ballot. Election officials review the provisional ballot under Virginia’s procedures before determining whether it can be counted.

Absentee-ballot deadlines

The deadline to request a mailed absentee ballot was July 24. For voters who already have a mailed ballot, Virginia requires it to be postmarked no later than Aug. 4 and received by the general registrar by noon on Aug. 7.

Mailing a ballot by Aug. 4 is not enough by itself; the ballot must also arrive by the noon Aug. 7 receipt deadline. Voters with questions about absentee voting, registration, accessibility or polling locations should contact the Sussex County General Registrar.

A Stony Creek mayoral special election is listed

The Virginia Department of Elections’ called-primary list identifies a special election for mayor of the Town of Stony Creek on the Aug. 4 ballot.

The official materials used for this explainer do not establish the final candidate list or every ballot detail. Before voting, residents should confirm the candidates, ballot style, eligibility and exact polling place through the Sussex County Registrar or Virginia Department of Elections.
