Virginia Voter's Guide: Everything you need to know about the 2023 Election
RICHMOND, Va - A multi-million-dollar math contest is underway in Virginia and the winner likely determines the fate of a governorship, abortion access, and policies that most directly impact the lives of everyday Virginians. The 2023 Virginia General Election is officially underway in the Commonwealth. Early voting began on September 22 and Election Day is Tuesday, November 7.
The 2023 CBS 6 Voter Guide is designed so that any voter in Central Virginia can identify the candidates on their ballot and access information to help with their choice. Below you will find useful information on identifying your district (which is likely slightly different this year), important deadlines to remember, and analysis of key local races.
The current makeup of Virginia's General Assembly is split with a Republican majority in the House of Delegates and Democrats controlling the State Senate by a handful of seats in both cases. Currently, Democrats can block big-ticket Republican agenda items backed by Governor Glenn Youngkin (R - Virginia).
This is where the numbers game comes into play.
