Democratic/ Republican Caucus Timelines
*GOP religious accommodation voting date for non-Saturday voting — June 27
First come the primaries.
Northern Virginians registered to vote in the 11th Congressional District have special election primaries coming up on June 28.
On Sept. 9, voters will elect a candidate to fill U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly’s seat, after his death in office on May 21. Virginia’s 11th district encompasses most of Fairfax County and all of Fairfax City. Prior to the Sept. 9 special election called by the Virginia Governor, both the Democratic and Republican parties will hold firehouse primaries, or caucuses, to select their endorsed candidates for the September election. Firehouse primaries, or unassembled caucuses, are paid for by the political parties rather than by the state department of elections, for voting events outside the November election process. Voters will find the familiar check in and vote process.
Voters should expect to show valid identification.
