The Nov. 3 election is over and the count is unofficial until the county’s Electoral Board finishes its canvass, due by Friday, Nov. 13. Polls were open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to the county’s Election 2026 voting guide. Midlothian voters are registered with Chesterfield County and vote at their own precinct’s polling place, not at the libraries used for early voting.

The county offered same-day registration on Election Day. Those voters cast a provisional ballot, which the Electoral Board reviews after the election, the county said.

What is on the ballot

The Virginia Department of Elections lists nine contests for Chesterfield County. Candidates appear here in the order the state lists them, with party as the state lists it:

Contest Candidates or choices
U.S. Senate Mark R. Warner (Democratic), Bert Mizusawa (Republican)
U.S. House, 4th District Jennifer L. McClellan (Democratic), Robert P. “Family Man” Murray Jr. (Republican), Joan E. “Andrews” Bell (Independent)

Constitutional amendments 1, 2 and 3 Yes or no on each

The state counts 78 precincts in the county for the countywide questions. The 4th District race covers 42 of them and the 1st District race 38. The Dale District supervisor race covers 15 and the Clover Hill School Board race 17.

The 1 For Schools question asks about a possible additional 1% local sales tax dedicated to Chesterfield County Public Schools capital projects. Our 1 For Schools explainer covers what it would pay for, including a new Midlothian Middle.

Which races you see depends on your address. Midlothian spans more than one magisterial district, so use the county’s Political District Map Viewer to find your precinct and ballot style, then open the matching sample ballot. The state’s referenda page has the full text of the amendments, and the county explains the sales tax question on its 1 For Schools page.

The 1 For Schools margin is 1.45% of the votes cast on the question. Under Virginia Code Section 24.2-800, a ballot question can be recounted only when the margin is 1% or less, so the recount route does not apply on these figures. Precinct and district figures are in our results story.
