Virginia 2026 elections

Every Virginia race on the November 3 ballot that we track, in one place: the U.S. Senate race, all 11 U.S. House districts, a House of Delegates special election, three constitutional amendments, and the local races in every county and city. Virginia elects no governor or other statewide officer this year.

A two-lane road curving through trees in autumn color
Virginia is for LoversThe Commonwealth’s slogan since 1969, here for its 2026 ballot.

Last verified: October 29, 2026. The U.S. Senate and U.S. House candidates match the Virginia Department of Elections’ federal offices list (revised October 6), and the House of Delegates and local candidates match its all-offices list (revised October 9). The Department revises these lists; the date above is the last time we compared them. Candidate lists are never edited by hand to look complete.

Election Day: Tuesday, November 3, polls open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.; anyone in line at 7 p.m. may vote. Early in-person voting ends at 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 31. Registration closed October 23; after that, a voter may still register and vote a provisional ballot in person through Election Day. Mailed ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received by noon on the third day after it. Your polling place and your full ballot are on the Department’s address lookup; check hours with your local registrar.

Virginia’s U.S. House map did not change for 2026. Voters approved a redistricting amendment in April, but the Virginia Supreme Court struck it down on May 8, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to let the new map be used, so the districts in use since 2022 stand.

State legislature 1 special

Virginia elects its House of Delegates in odd years and its State Senate in 2027, so the only legislative race this November is a special election.

Statewide ballot questions 3

Three proposed amendments to the Constitution of Virginia. The summaries below are the Department’s own wording.

  1. Question 1

    Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to (i) protect the freedom to make personal decisions about prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, birth control, abortion, miscarriage management, and fertility care; (ii) protect doctors, nurses, and patients from being punished for these decisions; and (iii) allow for restrictions on access to abortion during the third trimester of pregnancy except when the patient's health is at risk or the pregnancy cannot survive?

  2. Question 2

    Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to (i) remove the ban on same-sex marriage; (ii) affirm that two adults may marry regardless of sex, gender, or race; and (iii) require all legally valid marriages to be treated equally under the law?

  3. Question 3

    Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended (i) to provide for the fundamental right to vote in the Commonwealth, (ii) to revise the qualifications of voters so that a person convicted of a felony is not entitled to vote during his period of incarceration but is automatically invested with the right to vote upon release from incarceration, and (iii) to update the existing prohibition on voting by persons found to be mentally incompetent to instead apply to persons who have been found to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting?
