Virginia voters approved the redistricting referendum, with 51% voting "Yes" and 49% voting "No", according to The Associated Press. The vote allows Democrats to enact a new congressional map that could flip up to four Republican-held U.S. House seats in the 2026 midterms.
The new map creates eight safely Democratic districts and two competitive districts leaning Democratic, leaving just one safe Republican seat. It was drawn by Democratic state legislators and supported by Governor Abigail Spanberger, but faces potential legal challenges in the Virginia Supreme Court over the referendum process.
Key county results include:
Arlington: Yes +60
Fairfax: Yes +39
Loudoun: Yes +21
Virginia Beach: No +1.1
Roanoke: No +27
