DPVA Chairman Senator Lamont Bagby issued the following statement ahead of early voting for the special election on the constitutional amendment regarding redistricting:

“Beginning March 6, Virginians will have the opportunity to make their voices heard in this year’s redistricting referendum. Protecting the integrity of our democracy requires that we deliver a decisive ‘Yes’ vote.

Across the country, Donald Trump and Republican operatives are working to manipulate district lines to tilt the playing field and cling to power. Virginia has the chance to send a clear message: our elections are not for sale, and our democracy cannot be rigged.

By voting ‘Yes,’ Virginians are standing up for fair maps, fair representation, and a government that reflects the will of the people. I urge voters across the Commonwealth to participate in early voting and support this critical referendum.”
