About 52% voted against removing the state’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. All three passed statewide, but 21 cities and counties voted yes on some and no on others, according to a Virginia Public Access Project analysis of unofficial returns as of Wednesday.

Emporia and Charles City, Greensville and Prince Edward counties voted the same way as Danville, according to the analysis . In places such as York and Goochland counties, voters backed the reproductive freedom and marriage amendments but said no to the voting rights measure. Unofficial Virginia Department of Elections returns showed 62.9% voted yes on reproductive freedom, 57.9% on marriage and 56.9% on voting rights. Under Virginia Code § 18.2-74, abortions after the second trimester generally must be performed by a licensed physician in a licensed or state-operated hospital.
