The November 3, 2026 election will be critical for Virginia and Charlotte County voters. While 2026 is not a gubernatorial election year in Virginia (the Governor serves a four-year term and was last elected in 2025), all 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates will be on the ballot, as House members serve two-year terms. All 40 Virginia Senate seats will also be contested, as Senate terms are four years but all seats were up in 2023 under redistricting, making 2027 the next Senate election year unless special elections occur. Wylliesburg voters will elect their U.S. Representative for Virginia's 5th Congressional District. Charlotte County-level offices that may appear on the 2026 ballot could include members of the Board of Supervisors depending on district rotation schedules. Voters should verify specific races with the Charlotte County Registrar closer to the election.
