When are elections held?
- June: Primary - Second Tuesday of June (if called) - Primary Elections are held to assist the two major political parties (Democratic and Republican) in selecting their nominees for offices on the General Election Ballot. In Virginia, primaries for offices elected in November are normally held on the second Tuesday in June. A registered voter can vote in any primary election held in their precinct. If both parties are holding primaries, the voter can only vote in one party’s primary. [need citation]
- November: General Election - First Tuesday after the first Monday in November
- Special Elections[1] are held for a special purpose that is not regularly scheduled, such as to fill an office vacancy or for ballot questions. In Virginia all Special Elections are held on Tuesdays, often at the same time as a General Election. A Special Election cannot be held on the same date as a primary election.
- March: In presidential election years, presidential primaries are held on the first Tuesday in March.
