Virginia Election Day 2026: What's on the ballot
Virginia's elections on Tuesday could reshape the state constitution on abortion, marriage equality and voting rights — and help determine control of the House. The big picture: On Nov. 3, voters will decide three constitutional amendments and pick members of Congress while Richmond and Chesterfield voters weigh new taxes for school construction. In one part of the city, Richmonders will also choose a School Board member. Residents in Chesterfield's Dale district also have a Board of Supervisors election, but LeQuan Hylton is running unopposed after winning the Democratic primary last month. Chesterfield's only contested School Board race is a special election in the Clover Hill District, where first-time candidate Christina Brady faces former Fairfax County School Board member and Trump/Youngkin education official Elizabeth Schultz for a term that runs through 2027, The Richmonder reports . Key dates: Early voting runs through Oct. 31 and the voter registration deadline is Oct. 23. Check your early voting sites here and look up your congressional district here. Here's what to know before you vote: 📜 The constitutional amendments Reproductive rights: Would protect abortion and reproductive health care decisions, including birth control and miscarriage management. Marriage equality: Would constitutionally protect gay and interracial marriage.
