Poll shows majority of Virginia voters could approve redistricting referendum
RICHMOND, Va. (WSET) — A new poll indicates that voters in Virginia could approve changes to congressional district maps during the April 21 redistricting referendum.
According to a survey conducted by George Mason University in partnership with The Washington Post, a majority of voters say they plan to vote “yes” on the upcoming referendum. The poll also found that more than 60 percent of registered voters in the Commonwealth said they are certain they will participate in the vote.
When asked how they plan to vote, 53 percent of respondents said they support changing the current congressional map, while 44 percent said they plan to vote “no.”
Political analyst Dr. David Richards said the referendum is drawing unusual levels of attention for a special election, which typically sees lower voter turnout.
