The General Assembly of Virginia has provided a toll-free Hotline during its annual legislative session since 1994. The General Assembly's Hotline provides the citizens of the Commonwealth with the opportunity to express their views on the issues before the General Assembly. The Hotline also provides vital information to the members of the House of Delegates and the Senate of Virginia concerning public opinion on matters before the General Assembly.

The number for the Toll-free Hotline is: 1-800-889-0229

Callers in the Richmond area may dial: 225-4973

During each legislative workday, the Hotline receives calls from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Calls are answered by Hotline operators who request the constituent to provide a name and address, a geographic location or legislative district, the designated legislator(s) to receive their message and the issue on which they are expressing their opinion. The operators record the messages and forward the information to the legislators for their review.

If the caller seeks additional information concerning legislation or wishes to speak directly with the legislator, the operator will provide the appropriate telephone number.

For additional information regarding this service, please contact the House Clerk's Office at 804-786-7248 or the Senate Clerk's Office at 804-786-8430.
