Those who choose to vote early in-person must do so by 5 p.m. on June 5.
State law permits open primary elections, which means voters do not have to be registered with a party to submit a ballot. However, because the Democratic and Republican primaries are being held the same day, the law permits people to vote in only one of the elections.
Each party will have a separate ballot for the primary.
The Democratic ballot will list candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, the House of Delegates and local offices.
Meanwhile, the Republican ballot will list only the candidates for local office and the House of Delegates because statewide office candidates will be selected during a party convention.

Five of the candidates vying for the Republican nomination for governor met on stage Monday at Thomas Road Baptist Church, where more than 100 people gathered for a forum hosted by the College Republicans at Liberty University.
Reopening schools, supporting gun rights and rolling back COVID-19 restrictions dominated the conversation.
While the GOP candidates are competing for their partyâs nomination, to be decided by a May 8 unassembled convention, they appeared united against the apparent Democratic frontrunner, former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who is contending with four others for his partyâs nomination in a June 8 primary.
