Town of Jarratt, Virginia & The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

While many may say that this website is completely biased (there have been emails blasting such), please note that all information given is available to you through either an online source OR can be available to you through a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request at the Jarratt Town office.

Furthermore, to date, there are no official FOIA representatives at the Jarratt Town office, as any and all available are supposed to be listed for public view.  By writ, there should be at least one designated on the official Town website. (See § 2.2-3704.2. Public bodies to designate FOIA officer on the Freedom of Information Act website for more information on the topic of representatives.)

"Jarratt, VA, USA - For the People" is here for the people.  At no point in time will there ever be anything posted that cannot be fully backed in a legitimate manner by sources elsewhere.

It's that time again, ladies and gentlemen!

Tuesday, November 5th, persons across the Commonwealth of Virginia will be filling out ballots to choose our next President of the United States, as well as U.S. House and Senate seats (select areas) and local positions.

The Town of Jarratt, Virginia, is having a local election: the positions that need to be filled are:

  • One (1) candidate for the position of Mayor;
  • Six (6) candidates for the six positions for Town Council.

While a lot of people have already made the decision to not vote this year due to their distaste in the candidates for both Federal and State elections, we must all remember that LOCAL elections are just as important.  Democracy starts in LOCAL elections, and if we as a people cannot keep honesty and transparency in our local governments ...our country will always be doomed for failure.

Jarratt, Virginia, is a duel-county municipality, so please remember that you vote for Jarratt's Mayor and six (6) members of Council at your usual voting areas.  If, FOR ANY REASONyou are denied such at your designated polling area and you have the right to vote in the Jarratt, Virginia, election, DO NOT fill out a ballot until you speak with your respective county registrar's office:

Town of Jarratt, Virginia - 2024 Candidates and Past Elections

Because someone asked, we decided to provide the overall results from previous election years - not directly in print (it would take WAY too long to go through every individual notion each year) but with links to online resources.  If you are interested in persons that are on the 2024 election ballot, there are dots ⏺ (currently in office) and squares 🟦 (previously in office) beside each person listed from election results wherein said candidates ran for office.  Blank squares ▢ are for those who have not previously run for any office in the Town of Jarratt, Virginia, in the previous years documented.
