Quinby is an unincorporated community and does not hold municipal elections for mayor or town council. Quinby residents vote in federal, state, and county elections. The next major election is November 3, 2026, when Virginia voters will participate in the midterm congressional elections. Virginia's U.S. Senate seat held by Tim Kaine is not up for election in 2026; Virginia's gubernatorial election occurs in odd-numbered years (most recently 2025), so no gubernatorial race will appear on the 2026 ballot. Quinby voters will elect their member of the U.S. House of Representatives (Virginia's 2nd Congressional District), all 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates, and approximately half of the 40 seats in the Virginia Senate (depending on district). Accomack County Board of Supervisors seats may also be contested in 2026, along with county constitutional officers including Sheriff, Commonwealth's Attorney, Clerk of Court, Commissioner of Revenue, and Treasurer, depending on term schedules.
