VIRGINIANS CAN VOTE YES ON FAIR ELECTIONS STARTING MARCH 6!
Here’s why:
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, but right now, they are under threat. This amendment gives Virginians the power to level the playing field, preserve fair representation, and protect our democracy.
No one wanted to take this step, but Donald Trump directed MAGA-controlled states to take the unprecedented step of drawing new congressional maps to rig the midterm elections, and Virginians now face a real risk of having their voices diminished.
With so many other states trying to stack the deck, Virginia must act to restore fairness in the upcoming congressional elections — while ensuring Virginia voters have the final say and can review proposed congressional district maps before deciding how to vote.
This amendment is a temporary, emergency exception that gives Virginians a crucial voice and meets the needs of the current moment, while ensuring Virginia’s bipartisan redistricting process will resume after the 2030 census.
CURRENT BALLOT LANGUAGE*
“Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?” VOTE YES.
*Why “current”? The ballot language is pending the outcome of McGuire v. Virginia State Board of Election, an anti-voting lawsuit challenging the ballot language of a Virginia constitutional amendment to counteract GOP nationwide redistricting efforts.
