The city's Election Day service note

The City of Roanoke's election notice says Valley Metro will be fare-free all day Tuesday, November 3. The same notice identifies Election Day as November 3 and says the 2026 ballot is two-sided.

Fare-free service does not guarantee that a particular route, stop or transfer will fit a voter's schedule. Check Valley Metro's current route information and leave enough time for the complete trip.

Verify the private voter record separately

The city notice says the front of the ballot includes federal and Roanoke City Council contests, while the back includes three proposed Virginia constitutional amendments. This brief does not rank candidates or measures and does not tell anyone how to vote.

Use the Virginia Department of Elections for a personal registration record and assigned polling place. A city announcement or transit plan is not proof of an individual's eligibility, ballot style or precinct.
