This year, all 140 seats of the Virginia General Assembly and many local Board of Supervisors and City Councils will be on the ballot in November. Prior to those elections, both Republicans and Democrats have the opportunity to select their nominees through their own internal contests (conventions, mass meetings) or through “primaries”.

In total, there were 35 General Assembly races on Tuesday, including 16 Senate Primaries and 19 House Primaries. All these candidates will now focus their attention on the November General Election.
