Election date
November 3, 2026
Question 1: Reproductive Freedom Constitutional Amendment is a ballot measure in Virginia on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Puts a right to make your own choices about pregnancy, birth control, abortion, miscarriage care, and fertility care into the state constitution. Lawmakers could still limit abortion in the third trimester unless the patient's health is at risk or the pregnancy cannot survive; no new tax.
How do we calculate my vote power?
What determines the vote power rating for ballot measures: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. You have more power in ballot measures because you vote directly on the policy.
Representation: Average · 50 out of 100
This district covers a large share of its state, so each vote carries about average weight — like a vote in a statewide race. About 8,705,170 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(8,705,170 ÷ 8,705,170) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in VA (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: Above average.

Read the official ballot measure
A YES vote means
The state constitution would protect reproductive decisions, and future laws limiting them would need a compelling reason, except third-trimester abortion limits that protect the patient's health.
A NO vote means
The constitution stays silent on reproductive rights, so the legislature keeps its current power to expand or restrict abortion and related care by ordinary law.
