Virginians for Fair Elections — the “Yes” Campaign — Launches to Level the Playing Field for Virginia

Virginians for Fair Elections, the campaign urging Virginians to  vote YES  on the proposed redistricting amendment, officially launched a statewide effort to  protect fair representation and level the playing field  for Virginia's 2026 congressional elections.

The constitutional amendment would  give Virginia voters — not politicians — the final say  on whether the Commonwealth's congressional maps are fair, transparent, and representative of voters' voices amid unprecedented political manipulation by Trump and MAGA-controlled legislatures to govern their maps. The measure, taken with reluctance, would be a  temporary, emergency exception  — and Virginia's  bipartisan redistricting commission would automatically resume full authority after the 2030 census.

As states like Texas, Ohio, North Carolina, and soon Florida move to redraw congressional maps without voter approval, Virginians face the real risk of having their voices diminished in Washington. This amendment gives Virginians the power to protect fair representation before it's too late for the Commonwealth.

The first day of voting is Friday, March 6!  Final voting date is Tuesday, April 21.

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?”

A "yes" vote supports allowing the state legislature to conduct congressional redistricting between January 1, 2025, and October 31, 2030.

A "no" vote opposes allowing the state legislature to conduct congressional redistricting between January 1, 2025, and October 31, 2030.
