Virginia voter registration portal down! EDIT: Fiber cut

On the last day to register.

Thank you for coming to the Department of Elections' Citizen Portal website.

Due to a network outage the Citizen Portal is temporarily unavailable. We are working with our network providers to restore service as quickly as possible.

Please check back later for your online voter registration or absentee needs.

If you would like to apply for voter registration now, you may fill out and print the paper application here.

Nothing on twitter from the state, but this tweet for Albemarle County has some information.

The statewide voter registration system is currently DOWN. This means that any voter coming to vote early in-person can not be checked in on the poll books & will only be able to vote a provisional ballot.

We will let you know when the system is back up & running.

A fiber cut near Rt. 10 in Chester near the Commonwealth Enterprise Solutions Center (CESC) is impacting data circuits and virtual private network (VPN) connectivity for multiple Commonwealth agencies.

UPDATE: Technicians continue to work diligently on a resolution. The team has learned that the fiber was inadvertently struck as part of activities associated with a roadside utilities project. VITA, @ChesterfieldVa and @Verizon continue to collaborate on service restoration.
