Virginia

ABOUT THIS STATE
Virginia, you have big elections every year and honestly, we’re kind of jealous that you get to vote that much. With all that practice, you’re probably voting pros and casually flaunt your success in an unsolicited, end-of-year newsletter to all your state friends. But just in case you need it, we have you covered on everything you need to know to be a voter in the state for lovahs.

DO I HAVE AN ELECTION THIS YEAR?

Yes! This year you have elections for state legislature, so you can decide who you want representing you in Richmond. In addition to the general election in November, you have primaries coming up in June. And what's the only thing better than voting once? Voting TWICE! (In different elections and completely legally, of course.)
