Virginia elects its governor, statewide officers and General Assembly in odd years, and most county constitutional officers in 2027, so the November 3, 2026 ballot carries the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, three statewide constitutional amendments, and the local offices on the even-year cycle: city councils, school boards, town councils and mayors, a few county board and constitutional-officer special elections, and the House of Delegates District 20 special, per the Department of Elections' certified candidate lists. Congressional nominees were set by the August 4 primary; there are no runoffs.
