Primary Day in Virginia

Today, August 23, 2011 in primary day in Virginia. It is also the day for all independent candidates to file their papers to run and for all parties to declare their nominees not decided in a primary.

Normally, Virginia primaries are in early June, but every ten years they are delayed due to legislative redistricting.

In Mount Vernon, there is a primary for the 30th State Senate seat. If you live in the following precincts, you need to vote.

Grosvenor, Belleview, Huntington, Bellehaven, Belleview, Marlan, Hollin Hall (partial), Waynewood, Fort Hunt, Woodley (partial), Whitman, Westgate, and Hayfield

The polls are open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Virginia's primaries are open to all registered voters.

Primaries are your chance to have a voice in who your candidates are for public office. Make sure you vote tomorrow.
