In the November 2024 presidential election, Middlesex County reported approximately 60% voter turnout with around 6,700 registered voters and roughly 4,000 ballots cast. The county has historically leaned conservative in statewide elections. For the November 3, 2026 election, Middlesex County and Urbanna voters will decide several key races. No U.S. Senate seat from Virginia is up in 2026 (Mark Warner's term expires in 2026 but races are held in even years based on the class schedule; the next Senate race is 2024 or 2026 depending on seat—Virginia's Senate seats are Class 1 and Class 2, with the next up in 2026 being reviewed). Virginia does not hold gubernatorial elections in 2026; the next Governor's race is in 2025. Voters will likely decide on Virginia House of Delegates seats (all 100 seats are up every two years), potential Middlesex County Board of Supervisors seats, constitutional offices like Sheriff, Commonwealth's Attorney, Commissioner of Revenue, and Treasurer if their terms expire, and potentially town council seats. Absentee voting in Virginia is available to any registered voter without excuse required as of 2020 law changes. Voters can request absentee ballots online at https://vote.elections.virginia.gov/VoterInformation, by mail, or in person at the county registrar's office beginning 45 days before an election. Early in-person voting is available starting 45 days before Election Day at the registrar's office. Mail-in absentee ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received by noon on the third day after the election to be counted.
