Constitutional amendments pass in Virginia
The first amendment, Question 1, adds reproductive health care protections to Virginia’s Constitution; these protections include abortion, birth control, pregnancy, miscarriage, and fertility care, the Associated Press reports.
AP projects also indicate that Questions 2 and 3 have passed.
High turnout reported in early voting
The 2026 midterm cycle saw a significant surge in early participation. In Fairfax County, more than 227,000 voters cast ballots through early voting, which concluded at 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 31, according to data collected by the nonprofit Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP). Data collected by the nonprofit Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP) shows this represents a nearly 62 percent increase compared to the 140,225 people who voted early in the 2022 midterm election.
Statewide, over 1.2 million Virginians had already voted in the 2026 midterms, a figure that nearly doubles the pace of the 2022 election. Within Fairfax County, the vast majority of those early votes—nearly 172,000—were cast in person, while more than 55,000 were cast by mail.

Contested congressional and local races
In the 1st District, Henrico Commonwealth’s Attorney Shannon Taylor is challenging Republican U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman, who has served in that position since 2007.
In the 6th Congressional District, Republican incumbent Ben Cline is being challenged by Democrat Beth Macy. Cline, who was first elected to Congress in 2018 and previously served in the Virginia House of Delegates from 2002 to 2018, says he provides conservative, common-sense solutions. Macy, a journalist and author of “Dopesick,” has outperformed the incumbent in fundraising, though election forecasters continue to rate the district as safely Republican.
In the 10th Congressional District, incumbent Democrat Suhas Subramanyam, the first Indian-American elected to represent the district, is seeking re-election against Republican challenger Dave Beckwith, a 30-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force. During the day, Subramanyam met with supporters at a polling station in Sterling.
In the 3rd Congressional District, incumbent Democrat Bobby Scott won reelection for his 18th term, defeating Republican challenger Edwin Rivera Jr., according to the AP.
In Petersburg, Ward 1 voters were assigned to Lakemont Elementary School, while Ward 2 voters were assigned to Good Shepherd Baptist Church.
Under Virginia law, revenue from this tax cannot be used for salaries or other non-capital operating expenses.
In Fairfax County, voters considered local referendums regarding bond funding for human services projects and Fairfax County Park Authority projects.
Officers respond to shooting threats at Richmond polling locations
The Richmond Office of Elections reported that shooting threats were made at two Richmond polling locations on Tuesday afternoon. The first threat occurred around 12:42 p.m. at Thomas Jefferson High School, followed by a second report at approximately 1:43 p.m. at Barack Obama Elementary School. Responding officers found no evidence of an immediate threat or suspicious activity at the assessed locations, though law enforcement continues to monitor the situation.
The Virginia Department of Elections stated that polling places have generally been running well, though some localities dealt with a limited number of ballots that machines could not read, necessitating the delivery of new ballots. At the Meadowdale Library in Chesterfield County, precinct chief Jane Wynn reported that 187 voters had cast ballots by 11:30 a.m.
Voters who did not have identification at the polls could fill out a confirmation statement or cast a provisional ballot. Those using provisional ballots have until noon on the Friday following the election to provide identification or sign an ID confirmation statement to their local electoral board.
Timeline for final results
Election night results will remain unofficial until local officials complete the canvas, review provisional ballots, and count eligible late-arriving absentee ballots. State officials are scheduled to certify the results by Dec. 7, 2026.
