2023 VA Senate & House Primary
Candidate Filing
All Democratic candidates for the 2023 State Senate and House of Delegates elections will be nominated by Primary. The Primary will be held on Tuesday, June 20.
All information needed to file for the primary is located at the Virginia Department of Elections website > How to Run for the Virginia General Assembly. Note which information is needed at the time of filing.
Candidates may file beginning at Noon on Monday, March 20. Order on the ballot will be determined by order of filing. If two or more candidates (or their representatives) are in line before Noon, the ballot order will be determined by a drawing conducted by the State Board of Elections. Both candidates will be listed as filing at 12:00 PM. If a candidate does not file a complete filing package with party representation (Declaration of Candidacy, Primary Filing Fee Receipt, and petition signatures), their filing will not be accepted. If it is later determined that the candidate does not have the required number of petition signatures, their filing package and petitions will be returned, and their order on the ballot will then be determined by the date the petition signatures meet the Virginia Department of Elections requirements. This may be determined by the Democratic Party Chair Charles Stanton after March 20. In any event, all requirements of the Virginia Department of Elections must be met by the April 6, 5 PM deadline or the State Board of Elections may not certify your candidacy for the primary.
