Your Democratic Sample Ballot

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. Polls are open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you’re in line at 7, stay in line.

Lexington, Rockbridge County, and Buena Vista voters will see two races and three constitutional amendments.

Democrats recommend:

  • U.S. Senate: Mark R. Warner

  • U.S. House, 6th District: Beth A. Macy

  • Amendment Question 1: YES

  • Amendment Question 2: YES

  • Amendment Question 3: YES

What the amendments do

Question 1 puts reproductive freedom in the Virginia Constitution. It protects decisions about prenatal care, childbirth, birth control, abortion, miscarriage care, and fertility treatment, and it shields patients and doctors from punishment for those decisions. The state could still restrict third-trimester abortion, except when the patient’s health is at risk or the pregnancy cannot survive.

Question 2 removes Virginia’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. It affirms that two adults can marry regardless of sex, gender, or race, and requires the state to treat all legal marriages equally.

Question 3 makes voting a fundamental right in Virginia. People convicted of a felony would get their voting rights back automatically on release, instead of waiting on the governor. It also replaces outdated “mentally incompetent” language with a narrower standard.
