HARRISONBURG, VA (Rocktown Now) — After months of campaigns, forums and television ads, Virginia voters will officially go to the polls on Tuesday to either pass or reject the redistricting constitutional amendment.

Early voting for the referendum opened on March 6 and closed Saturday, with just over 1.35 million Virginians already casting their ballots, according to the Virginia Public Access Project.

The ballot for the special election asks, “Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?”

With this question presented, voters are given the simple choice between voting “Yes” or “No.”

The referendum is being presented to voters following the State Supreme Court’s ruling in February allowing for the election to move forward despite the court’s plan to review the amendment, and the process by which Virginia Democrats got it on the ballot, later.

In the months since, political leaders from across the commonwealth and nation have advocated for and against the measure. Earlier this month, U.S. House of Representatives Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke at a canvassing event in Charlottesville, arguing Trump’s push to redistrict other states like Texas and North Carolina was an attempt to “rig” the midterm elections, while calling Virginia “an incredible firewall.”

The next day, former governor Glenn Youngkin, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and other local Republicans spoke in Rockingham County to rally against the amendment, arguing the proposed disenfranchised rural voters.

While early voting is closed, absentee ballots can still be submitted. Voters can turn in their absentee ballots to their local general registrar’s office by 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Additionally, absentee ballots can be returned to a drop-off location. More information on drop off locations can be found in the absentee instructions provided in the absentee ballot mailing. Any ballots returned by mail must be postmarked on or before April 21 and received by the voter’s general registrar’s office by noon on the third day following the election.
