Fairfax County Dual Primary Election: Early Voting Starts Friday

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA — Early voting begins on Friday in Fairfax County's Dual Primary Election, with two separate ballots for Democratic and Republican candidates.

The Democratic primary election on June 18, 2024 will include races in both the 10th and 11th Congressional Districts.

In the 10th Congressional race, 12 Democrats are running to fill the seat being vacated by U.S. Rep. Jennifer Weston (D). They are: Jennifer Boysko, Marion Devoe Sr., Eileen Filler-Corn, Dan Helmer, Krystle Kaul, Mark Leighton, Michelle Maldonado, Travis Nembhard, Adrian Pokharel, Atif Qarni, David Reid, and Suhas Subramanyam.

Four candidates are on the Republican primary ballot in the 10th District —Manga Anantatmula, Aliscia Andrews, Mike Clancy, and Alex Isaac.

In the 11th Congressional race, incumbent Gerry Connolly is being challenged by fellow Democrat Ahsan Nasir. Mike Van Meter is the only Republican running in the 11th District race, so he will be his party's candidate in November.

There is also a Republican primary for U.S. Senate to determine a candidate who will challenge Sen. Tim Kaine (D) in November. The Republican primary for U.S. Senate includes candidates Hung Cao, Eddie Garcia, Jonathan Emord, Chuck Smith and Scott Parkinson.

Sample ballots are available for both Democratic and Republican primary candidates.
