The strongest case for each side
For the Senate race and each amendment, the best honest argument each way. Equal space, no endorsement.
What a yes vote actually does
Each amendment in plain language: what changes if it passes, what stays the same if it fails, and who is on each side.
The fine print on Question 3
Many Virginians with felony records can already register because of a 2026 federal court ruling, whatever happens to the amendment. We explain what the amendment would and would not change.
Sourced, not spun
Every factual claim is tied to reporting and official records, listed at the back.
What's inside
One U.S. Senate race and three constitutional amendments.

Is it partisan?
No. PolitiGeist is independent and makes no endorsement in any race or on any amendment. The point is the strongest case for each side.
What does it cover?
The U.S. Senate race and Questions 1, 2, and 3. Virginia elected its governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general in 2025, and its judges are chosen by the General Assembly, so none of those are on this ballot. U.S. House and local races aren't included.
Why is Virginia cheaper than other states?
Because the statewide ballot is genuinely shorter. Pricing follows how much is actually on it, not a flat rate per state.
