There are a number of tight races in the Virginia State Senate this year, as nearly all of the seats are being contested between the two major parties.

Democratic Congressman Bobby Scott of Virginia has decided to stay out of next year's U.S. Senate race. 

Yesterday's 5.8-magnitude earthquake rattled voters in Virginia as they were headed to the polls Tuesday, and election results may shake things up in Richmond.

They may not be at the top of everyone's to-do list for summer activities, but Virginia primaries for a number of General Assembly and local offices are taking place today. This year's primaries were scheduled later than normal due to redistricting, an many voters may find they need to familiarize themselves with their new district boundaries.

Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell says there appears to be no major damage or injuries from a 5.8 magnitude earthquake that hit near Mineral, Va.

The time to cast absentee ballots in the Virginia primaries has ended.

The deadline is approaching for voters in Virginia who want to cast in-person absentee ballots for Tuesday's primary elections.
