Ballot Issues

In the General Election, when you reach for the ballot expect to see a Republican at the top of the ballot. This decision was made by the the State Board of Elections by a random drawing from a bowl. Here's what the ballot will like.

Governor

Robert McDonnell (R)

R. Creigh Deeds (D)

Lieutenant Governor

Bill Bolling (R)

Jody Wagner (D)

Attorney General

Ken Cuccinelli (R)

Steve Shannon (D)

It is worth noting that there will not be any independent or third party candidates on the statewide ballot in the fall. However, there are 26 independent candidates in the House Races. This is the first time since the 1989 election that no independents will be on the statewide ballot.
