Second Voting Site Open For Primary Election In Alexandria

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Another location will join the Alexandria Office of Voter Registration & Elections Friday as an early voting site in the June 17 primary election.

The primary will be a Democratic race to determine nominees for lieutenant governor and attorney general. Democratic and Republican nominees for governor are already set — Democrat former Rep. Abigail Spanberger and Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. Republican nominees for lieutenant governor and attorney general are set — John Reid and incumbent Jason Miyares, respectively.

Democratic candidates for lieutenant governor are Levar Stoney, Babur Lateef, Aaron R. Rouse, Victor Salgado, Ghazala Hashmi and Alexander Bastani. Attorney general candidates are Shannon Taylor and Jay Jones.

All registered voters can vote in the primary election, as Virginia does not register voters by party.
