With early voting wrapped up over the weekend, Virginia Beach election officials say about a third of registered voters in the city voted early.
“Our numbers look like we had about 35 percent of the registered voters in the City of Virginia Beach, about a third voted early,” Jeff Marks, with the Virginia Beach Board of Elections, said.
Those votes were done either by mail-in ballots or through early voting at satellite locations across the city.

The method of voting was so popular many visiting the Virginia Beach registrar’s office were surprised to learn it was no longer happening on Monday.
John Hood “Just to get it out of the way, because the last time we voted it was so crowded,” Virgilio, a voter in Virginia Beach, said.
Virgilio was just one of many residents who went to Building 14 to try and vote early but was greeted by a neon sign stating they’ll have to vote on Tuesday.
