Tomorrow is a crucial day in VA-05: the voter registration deadline. Voters who haven't registered/updated their registration by tomorrow will have to cast a provisional ballot on Election Day through same-day registration. College students across the Commonwealth most commonly use this method of voting. A key part of the Perriello campaign's strategy is registering these students to vote, but they (and of course registrars around the Commonwealth) are hoping they get a lot registered by the deadline. Perriello's built up an advantage relative to VA-05's electorate in 2025 by trying to get students registered at UVA & Longwood. There's no clear strategy as far as I am aware by the McGuire campaign to counteract with getting Liberty students registered, but Liberty's growing regardless so their voter registration is up as well, cutting into Perriello's advantage. I'll be calling the registrars on Monday for results; the official ones aren't posted on the DoE website until the end of the month but they're always kind enough to let me know the current voter registration number when I call (God bless them). VA-05 is somewhere between Tilt R and Tilt D; there is a decent chance that this race may not be callable on election night if it comes down to the same-day registration votes, which are not counted until 1 week after the election. Our talented call team is likely to run the math once the total number is posted (though not all of these SDRs will be counted, rejection rate varies by locality). We did this in VA HD-41 in 2023 at @CNalysis and VA HD-34 in 2025, making us the first to call those races.
