Vote Virginia

This year, Virginians once again have the opportunity to elect statewide leadership. Your vote is incredibly important, and here's why: Black voters can…
- Elect candidates who support policies that improve Black lives;
- Elect Virginia's next Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General; and
- Decide control of the all-important Virginia House of Delegates.
The NAACP is working to ensure all voters are informed about how to vote.
