Upcoming Elections

Election Information

In Virginia, we have elections every year. If you have any inclination to run for office, or if you know of anyone that you can encourage to run, please let us know.  We should be encouraging people to run for these positions as Democrats!

The offices you’ll vote for depend on where you live. Each county Registrar’s Office can help you with details (links available below under Polling Locations). Or visit the Virginia Department of Elections and use your zip code or the interactive maps to find out who you’ll be voting for in November 2024–in addition to the presidential election.

You can also enter your address at VPAP.org to learn who’s on the ballot, who your representatives are, and as a bonus, political donors nearby. Also at VPAP, check out Where does early voting stand?, a district-by-district breakdown that will be updated as voting gets under way in the fall.
