Election Guide: Three Primaries Affect Ashburn

On Tuesday, parties will select candidates for the General Assembly elections this fall.

After redistricting, voters just may want to double-check the new boundaries to see who your candidates are this year. The new lines take effect once new candidates elected this fall are sworn in next year. In Ashburn, three of the five General Assembly districts representing the area have Republican primaries Tuesday, Aug. 23, to select nominees for the November election.

By now all registered voters should have received new Voter Cards that indentify which districts serve you, the name of the voting precinct you are in and where you should go to vote.

Below you will find links to the new district maps as well as information about all of state districts that include parts of Ashburn. While the information includes all five districts – two in the state Senate and three in the House of Delegates – primaries tomorrow involve only the 10th House District, the 87th House District and the 13th Senate District.
