Voters across Virginia are now casting their Election Day ballots, but many in Fairfax County have no need for a last-minute trip to their polling place.
Just shy of 190,000 voters in Fairfax County cast a ballot during the early voting period, which ran from Sept. 19 through 5 p.m. on Saturday (Nov. 1). That’s a jump of 7.4% compared to 2021, which is the last time the three statewide races were on the ballot.
Gubernatorial hopeful Abigail Spanberger took her “Virginia Votes Bus Tour” to Annandale yesterday (Thursday), continuing to sell her campaign to voters in Fairfax County mere days before Election Day.
Speaking to roughly 100 attendees at Soricha Tea & Theater (7112 Columbia Pike), the Democratic candidate reiterated her focus on addressing affordability challenges for residents, noting that prices have jumped across the Commonwealth for housing, energy, healthcare and more.
