In VA, you don't have any state elections, but you should be having an election for your House Representative. I couldn't find anything about Williamsburg local elections quickly, but there probably are at least a few. Your vote will count - use it.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I plan to show up at the polls in Novemeber no matter what, its just that when people ask me who I'm voting for I sometimes wnat to answer with "Does it matter in VA?" I mean VA hasnt voted Dem. for President in like the last 40+ years. Anyway, its more of a "I have the right to vote so I'm going to use it" ideal thats going to get me to show up.
