VIRGINIA — Virginia voters are at the polls on Tuesday, June 11, casting their ballots in primary elections that will determine which state legislature and local candidates advance to the Nov. 5 general election. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

Voters are not registered by party and can vote in either the Democratic or Republican primary. To cast a ballot, voters must be registered and present photo identification.

To check your voter registration and find your polling place, visit vote.elections.virginia.gov.

All Virginia Senate and House of Delegates seats will be up for grabs in the general election, leaving party control hanging in the balance. Republicans control the state House with a 51-49 majority and the state Senate with a 21-19 majority.
