Copied from the Department of Elections' official local offices candidate list. Virginia law does not allow party labels on the ballot for local candidates, so none are shown. Where several seats are elected at once, the number of seats comes from the list.
If an office had no qualified candidates, it is not on the list; contact your general registrar. Federal races and the constitutional amendments are on the state page.
