Virginia Election Day, redistricting referendum polls open until 7pm

Virginia voters are casting ballots April 21 on a constitutional redistricting amendment, with polls open statewide at local precincts until 7 PM. Volunteers and officials are greeting voters at polling places such as First Mount Zion Baptist Church in Dumfries, where Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and Supervisor Andrea Bailey were on-site. Advocates are urging Virginians to vote YES, and voters can check polling locations and information at vote.elections.virginia.gov or IWillVote.com/VA before heading to the polls. If approved, the amendment would enshrine a new redistricting process in the Virginia Constitution and change how legislative and congressional district maps are drawn going forward.
