2026 GENERAL ELECTION EARLY VOTING CLOSES WITH IMPRESSIVE TURNOUT OF 12,242 VOTERS

The 2026 General Election Early Voting has officially concluded. Supervisor of Elections Caroline F. Fawkes would like to extend sincere appreciation to the Elections System Staff, Board Members, Elections Officials, and Support Agencies that worked selflessly to ensure the success of early voting and the safety of electors who came in to cast their ballots. Electors who were unable to cast their ballot during the Early Voting can cast their ballot on General Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The number of electors who participated in the 2026 General Election Early Voting are as follows: St. Thomas-5,624, St. Croix -6,217 and St. John-401, for a total territory wide of 12,242 which represents 38 percent of active registered voters.

Voting Centers will open on November 3rd from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. A Voting Center is an alternative to traditional, neighborhood-based precincts. Voters may cast their ballots on Election Day at any voting center of choice in their district.

Supervisor Fawkes also wishes to remind voters who were unable to vote during Early Voting or on Election Day, they or their representative can obtain an emailed absentee ballot or an absentee ballot from the Elections System Office. Absentee Ballot Applications are available at the Elections System offices territory-wide or at the Elections System website https://app.vivote.gov/absentee.

In closing, Supervisor Fawkes states “The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was indeed a vital instrument of democracy, ensuring the integrity and reliability of a democratic process that we as a Country hold so dear.” – Charles B. Rangel
