Tazewell County, VA Redistricting Vote Information

Tazewell County, Virginia has been allowed to begin early voting March 6 – April 18 on a Tuesday, April 21, 2026 referendum allowing voters to decide whether to adopt new congressional map lines. 
(Note: If you plan to vote by mail-in ballot, be aware you must now go to a US Postal Service window and have your ballot envelope hand-stamped with the postmark date. Otherwise, it may be counted as received too late and not count as a valid vote on April 21.) 
In Virginia, a constitutional amendment must be put before voters as a referendum* to allow the General Assembly to temporarily redraw the state’s congressional district map lines* before the usual once-a-decade schedule. Normally, districts are drawn after the federal census, but several states, led by Texas and followed by California, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio, have recently changed their congressional maps mid-cycle to gain a Republican advantage in the battle for control of the US House of Representatives. For supporters of this Virginia amendment, a vote “yes” for new maps will help balance representation of Virginia voters if other states’ changes shift political power. Critics say changing districts outside the usual process raises legal and constitutional questions.
There are multiple lawsuits challenging parts of this vote and the process used to put it on the ballot. The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that the election can move forward while legal challenges continue. The Court has also said it will issue final decisions after the April 21 vote. This means results could still be reviewed or changed depending on how court cases are decided.
