Virginia early voting starts Friday for June primaries
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – Early voting for the June primaries starts today. The primaries will determine who will appear on the ballot for the general election in November. If you want to vote early in the June primaries, you have from May 2 until June 14 at your local voter registration office. 'So, most localities in this 757 are having just a Democratic Party primary election,' said Norfolk Director of Elections and General Registrar, Stephanie Iles. Registered voters can vote in any primary election in their precinct. All 133 Virginia counties and cities have Democratic primaries, but only 31 will have a Republican primary. 'There are a couple of localities that are having a dual party primary, meaning both parties, Democratic and Republican, are having their election on the same day. And in those cases in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, they're going to ask you which ballot style you would like so that you could vote for the candidates of your choice,' said Iles. If you want to cast a ballot, make sure you bring your voter ID. That could be your driver's license, military ID, passport or any form of a photo ID. 'We will have two Saturdays of early voting before the election, June 7th and June 14th. The last day to vote early will be June 14th,' said Iles. You have 45 days to vote early. Primary Day is June 17th. 'So you can register to vote, you can check your voter registration, you can apply for an absentee ballot by mail, or you can request to become an officer of election simply by downloading the My Norfolk app,' said Iles.

Potholes lead to Norfolk blitz to repair them
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The pothole at the corner of Keller and Hanbury streets in Norfolk is not easy to miss. Capria Smith tries to go around it. 'It is ragly. Don't you see? It is broken up,' she said. 'It's terrible. I used up my car all day.' Smith is hoping that someone from the city would come out and make repairs to the road. Suffolk Public Works hits streets with pothole blitz 'I am the pothole liaison,' said Marvin Hall with Norfolk Public Works' streets and bridges division. 'I'm the pothole guy.' Hall is the guy to make repairs, and it's his job, along with his crew, to fill potholes throughout the city's streets. Last year they filled more than 1,400 of them. This year, the blitz is on to repair potholes that formed from the winter weather. 'Snow, ice, rain, water, the roads get soft and vehicles kind of break up the asphalt pops up, expansions and contractions, … hot and cold, and it causes potholes throughout Norfolk,' Hall said. One by one, Hall says in a week's time they fill on average about 100 potholes. When the potholes get repaired the drivers become very thankful. 'I am happy about that,' Smith said. 'That's awesome. Hallelujah.' Hall said he appreciates the kind words. 'We're making sure it's safe for everybody,' he said. Norfolk residents are encouraged to report potholes using the MyNorfolk mobile app or . Residents can also report potholes by calling Norfolk Cares at (757) 664-6510 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or email . Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
