Three constitutional amendments on the Nov. 3 ballot have prompted public messages from local Democrats and Republicans, the Catholic Diocese of Arlington and a variety of advocacy groups.
Arlington Democrats are supporting all three, which focus on reproductive rights, same-sex marriage and restoration of voting rights for convicted felons who have been released from incarceration. Party members “voted overwhelmingly” earlier this year to support the trio, party officials said.
A local LGBTQ+ advocacy group has joined a statewide coalition seeking to pass one of three Virginia constitutional amendments on the Nov. 3 ballot.
Equality Arlington is now part of the Virginians for Marriage Equality Coalition, working to support an amendment that would enshrine same-sex marriage in the Virginia Constitution.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia voters will decide whether to back a redrawn district map that favors Democrats in the tit-for-tat battle for the U.S. House after the left-leaning Senate advanced a proposed constitutional amendment on Friday that supports mid-decade congressional redistricting.
Such a congressional map has not been publicly released, though lawmakers say that will change by the end of the month. Officials have repeatedly vowed that voters would see a proposed map before the referendum is held, likely in April.
