The April 21, 2026 referendum would let the Virginia General Assembly redraw congressional districts before 2031, allowing new maps ahead of the next scheduled redistricting cycle. Supporters, including the Fairfax County Democratic Committee, posted a YouTube video featuring President Barack Obama urging Virginians to vote Yes. Activists and national figures pushed turnout for the one-day vote, saying passage could prevent entrenched gerrymanders and shift which party controls competitive U.S. House seats in Virginia.
