In the November 2024 presidential election, Prince George County reported voter turnout of approximately 65-70% of registered voters, reflecting strong engagement in federal elections typical of Virginia suburban and exurban counties. Looking ahead to November 2026, Disputanta and Prince George County voters will decide several important races. Virginia does not have U.S. Senate elections in 2026 (Virginia's Senate seats are up in 2024 and 2026 cycles, with one seat contested in 2026). However, all 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates will be on the ballot in 2025 (Virginia holds state legislative elections in odd-numbered years), so 2026 will focus on federal congressional races for Virginia's U.S. House of Representatives seats, with Prince George County voters participating in the 4th Congressional District election. Additionally, county offices including Board of Supervisors seats, Constitutional Officers (Sheriff, Commissioner of Revenue, Treasurer, Clerk of Court, Commonwealth's Attorney), and School Board positions may appear on the ballot depending on term schedules. Virginia voters can request absentee ballots either by mail or in person. To vote by mail, voters must complete an absentee ballot application (available online at the Virginia Department of Elections website or through the county registrar), and the application deadline is 11 days before Election Day. Completed ballots must be returned by mail (postmarked by Election Day and received by noon the Friday following the election) or delivered in person to the registrar's office by 7:00 PM on Election Day. Virginia allows any qualified voter to vote absentee without providing an excuse.
