Overview
Virginia's 2026 marquee contest is the US Senate race, where Democratic incumbent Mark Warner is seeking a fourth term. All 11 of the commonwealth's US House districts are also on the November 3 ballot, alongside three proposed constitutional amendments on reproductive freedom, restoration of voting rights, and marriage. There is no governor race this year; Virginia elects governors in odd-numbered years, next in 2029. Nominees in contested races will be chosen in open primaries on August 4, 2026, a date lawmakers moved back from June 16 for this cycle only. This hub connects live market odds with candidate pages, polling context, official dates, and market-moving updates.

When is the 2026 Virginia general election?
The 2026 Virginia general election is on Nov 3, 2026.
What races are on the ballot in Virginia in 2026?
Virginia's November 3, 2026 ballot features the US Senate seat held by Democrat Mark Warner, all 11 US House districts, and three proposed constitutional amendments on reproductive freedom, restoring voting rights after incarceration, and marriage. There is no 2026 race for governor, lieutenant governor, or attorney general; those offices were decided in 2025, and both General Assembly chambers next appear on the ballot in 2027.
How does Virginia's primary work?
Virginia holds open primaries: voters do not register by party, and any registered voter may participate by choosing a single party's ballot. Nominations are decided by plurality, with no runoff. For 2026 only, lawmakers moved the primary from June 16 to August 4, so it has not yet been held; early voting begins June 19. Parties may also nominate by convention in some contests.
Why is the 2026 Virginia US Senate race important?
Virginia's Class 2 Senate seat, held by Democrat Mark Warner since 2009, is on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Warner is seeking a fourth term and is unopposed for the Democratic nomination; a contested August 4 Republican primary will decide his general-election opponent. The outcome feeds directly into the national fight for Senate control, making it Virginia's highest-profile statewide contest in a year with no governor race.
