Redistricting referendum 2026 — live updates and results

While the constitutional amendment has received a great deal of attention statewide, some University-area precincts are underperforming the statewide average of early votes when compared with turnout in the November 2025 election.

At the conclusion of early in-person voting on the constitutional amendment, three of the four precincts — Slaughter Recreation Center, Johnson and Trailblazer Elementary — were below average for their respective precincts, as of April 18, according to State Navigate. The voting location at the Miller Center in Albemarle County saw 444 early votes, or 101.1 percent of early voter totals in November 2025. The Slaughter Recreation Center in Albemarle County saw 216 early votes, while Charlottesville’s Johnson and Trailblazer elementary schools saw 499 and 230, respectively. That calculates to a respective 94.7 percent, 91.2 percent and 74.7 percent of the early vote totals from last November’s election. Miller and Slaughter are above the statewide benchmark, which is around 94.3 percent of November’s early vote.

Charlottesville City and Albemarle County are two strongholds for Democrats, and a big election day turnout in the Charlottesville area would likely be beneficial for the “Yes” side. Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) won nearly 90 percent of the vote in Charlottesville in her 15-point statewide win last November.
