Suffolk Clerks may also provide online information about how to register to vote or where to vote. Citizens may also be able to register to vote at a Clerk's Office.

Suffolk The primary responsibility of the DMV, or Department of Motor Vehicles, is to grant Virginia driver's licenses and identification cards to VA residents, but the DMV also plays an important role in Suffolk voter registration. Citizens who want to register to vote in Suffolk can do so at the DMV, which will transfer the information, such as full name and address, to the local Suffolk Board of Elections or Suffolk Clerk's Office. This can be an easy way to register to vote while applying for a license or renewing a license. The DMV may also be known as a Suffolk DOL, or Suffolk Department of Licensing.
