Virginia is an open primary state meaning that voters do not register by political party. Any registered voter is eligible to vote in any primary election. If both the Democratic and Republican parties hold primaries on the same day, voters must choose which party ballot they wish to vote, per Virginia Code § 24.2-530.

Arlington County will be using ranked choice voting for the office of County Board (1 seat). Read more about Ranked Choice Voting. 

What's on the Ballot 

Only offices with more than 1 candidate are on the primary ballot. In offices where only 1 candidate qualified, that candidate automatically wins the party nomination and will be on the ballot in November.
