Overview
- A Heritage Action poll of 814 likely voters finds 43% oppose the amendment, 26% support it, and 30% are unsure.
- The same survey reports 76% oppose gerrymandering and shows 45% support when respondents read the ballot’s “restore fairness” wording.
- The referendum would let legislators redraw congressional districts before the 2030 census, which critics say could produce a 10–1 Democratic delegation.
- Early in-person voting is underway, and Republican operatives point to an edge in GOP-held districts based on social posts and Virginia Public Access Project figures, though broader confirmation remains limited.
- Voting will proceed as planned, and the Virginia Supreme Court is set to hear pending Republican-led challenges after the referendum, following the 2020 creation of the bipartisan redistricting commission.
