June 17 is primary day in Virginia, when voters will select Democratic nominees for lieutenant governor and attorney general and weigh in on House of Delegates hopefuls and local candidates. Republicans aren’t having a statewide primary, and their ticket of executive branch nominees is set. For the first time in decades, Democrats are running candidates in all 100 House of Delegates races.
Three contenders — Republican incumbent Jason Miyares, and Democrats Jay Jones and Shannon Taylor — are aiming to become Virginia’s next attorney general.
Seven contenders are vying to become Virginia’s next lieutenant governor: Republican John Reid and Democrats Alex Bastani, Ghazala Hashmi, Babur Lateef, Aaron Rouse, Victor Salgado and Levar Stoney. Learn more about statewide candidates’ priorities by reviewing their responses to our lieutenant governor and attorney general questionnaires, and check out key House races to watch here.
Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. If you’re in line when polls close, you can still vote. You’ll need to present an acceptable form of identification to vote, but if you don’t have one, you can cast a provisional ballot. Use this Virginia Department of Elections tool to find your polling place.
Check back here throughout the day for updates.
