Virginia 2020 Ballot Measures

See Ballotpedia for more information on the ballot measures.

Both of the proposed amendments were referred by the Virginia General Assembly with overwhelming bipartisan consensus.

Redistricting Commission Amendment

 

This is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that creates a redistricting commission composed of legislators and citizens to draw congressional and state legislative districts.

 

YES – a “yes” vote would create the commission and transfer the authority from the legislature for redistricting

           The Republican Party strongly recommends voting "yes" on this amendment to ensure fair

          redistricting. This will be one of the most important things that you will vote on in the 2020

          election.

NO – a “no” vote would leave the authority with the legislature for redistricting. The Democrats will be handing out

           sample ballots statewide advising voters to vote "no". A "no" vote will allow Democrats to create districts

           ensuring that they have a majority in the legislature and disenfranchising rural and Republican voters.

 

See Ballotpedia for more information and background on this amendment.

 

 

Motor Vehicle Property Tax Exemption for Disabled Veterans Amendment

 

This is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would exempt one motor vehicle owned by a totally disabled veteran from property taxes.

 

YES - a "yes" vote supports the exemption

NO - a "no" vote opposes the exemption

 

See Ballotpedia for more information and background on this amendment
