Alexandria voters have multiple options to cast their ballots in the upcoming Democratic Party Primary Election on Tuesday (June 17).
Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day, but voters don’t need to wait until Tuesday to participate. Early voting continues through Saturday, June 14, at 5 p.m.
The Democratic primary ballot includes contests for the nominations of Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General. Six candidates are vying for the Lieutenant Governor nomination: Levar Marcus Stoney, Babur B. Lateef, Aaron R. Rouse, Victor R. Salgado, Ghazala F. Hashmi, and Alexander J. Bastani.
The winner will face Republican nominee John Reid in the November general election, while current Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears is running for governor against Democrat Abigail Spanberger.
In the Attorney General race, Shannon L. Taylor and Jay C. Jones are competing for the Democratic nomination. The winner will challenge incumbent Republican Jason Miyares in November.
