Virginia Democrats push four constitutional amendments, including mid-decade redistricting, on opening day

Virginia House Democrats opened the 2026 session by advancing four constitutional amendments: a narrowly crafted measure to allow the General Assembly to redraw congressional districts mid-decade under specific conditions (expires in 2030), plus amendments to protect abortion rights, automatically restore voting rights for felons, and remove a defunct ban on same-sex marriage. All four move to the Senate, with the redistricting proposal potentially going to an April special statewide election if approved.
