Don’t Guess, Vote YES to all three proposed VA constitutional amendments!

2026 is a critical election year with incredibly high stakes. Virginians could flip multiple U.S. House seats to help tip the balance of power away from extremists and protect democracy. But did you know you also have the chance to amend Virginia’s constitution to make the state a freer and fairer place and expand rights for all of its citizens?

This year you have the opportunity to protect Reproductive Freedom, Marriage Equality, and Voting Rights at the ballot box.

Virginia is currently the only southern state with abortion access after 12 weeks – but the state’s constitution does not guarantee the right to reproductive health care. The Reproductive Freedom Amendment to the Virginia Constitution would ensure access to contraception, miscarriage care, IVF, and abortion and protect providers who administer that care.

Why We’re Voting YES: With increasing state and federal attacks on reproductive care, this amendment would protect Virginians from any state legislation trying to strip away our reproductive rights.

Ballot Question Text:

Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to (i) protect the freedom to make personal decisions about prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, birth control, abortion, miscarriage management, and fertility care; (ii) protect doctors, nurses, and patients from being punished for these decisions; and (iii) allow for restrictions on access to abortion during the third trimester of pregnancy except when the patient’s health is at risk or the pregnancy cannot survive?

The amendment ensure everyone can marry who they love, regardless of sex, gender, or race by removing a ban on same-sex marriage in Virginia’s constitution.

Why We’re Voting YES: While marriage equality is federally protected, this amendment will protect Virginian’s if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns long standing protections for interracial marriage and same-sex marriages.

Ballot Question Text:

Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to (i) remove the ban on same-sex marriage; (ii) affirm that two adults may marry regardless of sex, gender, or race; and (iii) require all legally valid marriages to be treated equally under the law?

This amendment would restore voting rights to people with felony convictions when they are released from incarceration, helping to enfranchise hundreds of thousands of Virginians.

Why We’re Voting YES: Virginia is the only state that disenfranchises people with felony convictions until the governor restores their right to vote through an executive action. This amendment fixes that arbitrary and slow process!

Ballot Question Text:

Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended (i) to provide for the fundamental right to vote in the Commonwealth, (ii) to revise the qualifications of voters so that a person convicted of a felony is not entitled to vote during his period of incarceration but is automatically invested with the right to vote upon release from incarceration, and (iii) to update the existing prohibition on voting by persons found to be mentally incompetent to instead apply to persons who have been found to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting?
