Virginia state elections in 2020 will be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. With the exception of its Democratic Party presidential primary election held on March 3, 2020 (its Republican Party presidential primary was cancelled by the state party)[1], its primary elections were held on June 23 of that year.[2]
In addition to the U.S. presidential race, Virginia voters will elect their Class II U.S. Senator and all of its seats to the House of Representatives.There are also two ballot measures which will be voted on.[2]

Virginia has 13 electoral votes in the Electoral College.
United States Senate
United States House of Representatives
There are 10 U.S. Representatives in Virginia that will be up for election. Another seat is open after the incumbent, Bob Good, lost renomination in its Republican convention.[3] Republican primary conventions were held instead of primaries at differing dates for each district.[3][4]
