The Virginia Redistricting Amendment was approved in a special election in which voters overwhelmingly supported the "Yes" campaign against a temporary shift in redistricting power. The amendment allows the Virginia General Assembly to redraw congressional districts for the remainder of the decade, a move prompted by a "redistricting arms race" in other states. Despite the polarizing nature of the amendment, it is enough to trigger the immediate adoption of the General Assembly's new congressional boundaries. The "Yes!" campaign received 1,648,322 votes statewide, while 1,552,408 voters cast "No" ballots. The victory was largely attributed to high turnout in Northern Virginia and the Richmond suburbs, offseting opposition in the state's rural southern and western districts. The new congressional map will be implemented immediately.
