Prince George is an unincorporated census-designated place without its own municipal government, so residents do not vote in town-level elections but participate in county, state, and federal contests. Prince George County is governed by a Board of Supervisors elected from five districts; these elections occur in November of odd-numbered years with the next county supervisor elections scheduled for November 2025. The county elects a constitutional officer slate (Sheriff, Commissioner of the Revenue, Treasurer, Commonwealth's Attorney, and Clerk of Circuit Court) in November of even-numbered years. Prince George residents can find their assigned polling location by using the Virginia Department of Elections polling place lookup tool at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov or by contacting the county registrar. In the November 2024 presidential election, Prince George County reported approximately 59% voter turnout with over 10,000 ballots cast from roughly 17,000 registered voters. On November 3, 2026, Prince George voters will decide numerous important races: the U.S. House of Representatives seat for Virginia's 4th Congressional District; all 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates (with Prince George split between districts); Virginia does not have U.S. Senate or gubernatorial elections in 2026 as the Senate seats are up in 2024/2026 (Mark Warner's seat is up in 2026); the county constitutional officers including Sheriff, Treasurer, Commissioner of the Revenue, Commonwealth's Attorney, and Circuit Court Clerk; and the Board of Supervisors will not be on the ballot as those elections occur in odd years.
