Voting is underway and polls will close at 7 p.m.
The candidates running in Tuesday’s primary are hoping for a spot on the ballot in Virginia’s general election in 140 days.
A couple of statewide primaries are taking place for elected leaders who would work alongside the future governor.
All 100 seats in the House of Delegates will be on the ballot in November, but just a few districts are holding contested primaries Tuesday.
Governor
The top of the ticket is already set with Virginia’s gubernatorial nominees in place. Republican Winsome Earle-Sears, the state’s current lieutenant governor, is running for governor against Democrat Abigail Spanberger, who formerly represented Virginia in the U.S. House.
Lieutenant Governor
Talk-radio host John Reid won the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor by default, running unopposed in the state’s primary.
The Democratic primary for lieutenant governor has a crowded field of six candidates:
Levar Stoney, former Richmond mayor and secretary of the Commonwealth
Babur Lateef, Prince William County School Board chairman at-large
Aaron Rouse, Virginia state senator
Victor Salgado, former federal prosecutor
Ghazala Hashmi, Virginia state senator
Alexander Bastani, attorney
Attorney General
Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares is running for reelection. He has already been selected as the Republican nominee for the office, so the party won’t hold a primary.
The Democratic primary for attorney general has two candidates: Commonwealth’s Attorney of Henrico County Shannon Taylor and former Virginia State Del. Jay Jones.
Virginia House of Delegates
All 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates will be up for grabs in November, as voters elect new leaders in the lower chamber of the General Assembly.
