Virginia’s
presidential
primaries Feb. 12
By Kevin Allen
Rappahannock News Staff Writer
Virginia’s chance to weigh in on this year’s president tial candidates comes next week. Primaries for the Democratic and Republican parties are Tuesday.
When voters go to the polls, they will be given the option of voting in the Democratic or Republican primary. Each voter may vote in only one primary, but does not need to be a registered member of the party to cast a ballot. Voting in a party’s primary does not give a person any official affiliation with the political party.
Absentee voters can vote before Tuesday at the Registrar of Voters Office between the County Courthouse and the Commissioner of the Revenue Office on Gay Street in the Town of Washington. The registrar’s office is open from 8 a.ra. to 4 p.m. today and . 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
More than 20 states held primaries or caucuses Feb. 5 on “Super Tuesday.”
This Tuesday, the only other contests are Republican primaries in the District of Columbia and Maryland, the Democratic primary in Maryland and the Democratic caucus in D.C.
On the ballot
Although several candidates have dropped out of the race, there are still six names on each party’s primary ballot. No other races or referendums will be on the ballot.
