The Charlottesville Democratic Committee

List of Democratic Candidates on the Primary Election Ballot – Primary Election is June 17

Posted on

Lieutenant Governor (in alphabetical order)

Attorney General (in alphabetical order)

Charlottesville City Council (in randomized order for the ballot listing)

This race, and only this race, will use ranked-choice voting for the first time in Charlottesville. Rather than voting for just one candidate by filling in a circle, you’ll rank each candidate as either your first, second, or third choice. Your preferred candidate will be ranked #1, your second preferred candidate as #2, and your third preferred candidate as #3… and the top two candidates win. For more details on ranked-choice voting, read this article and/or watch this video.

“Thursdays at Ix Park” Begins June 26

(every week 5-7pm)

Our volunteer activities at Ix Park will resume this year on June 26, after the June 17 primary chooses the winning candidates. This year we’ll also be helping Lily Franklin in the Blacksburg (VA-41) House of Delegates District with cards, calls, and texts. She lost by under 200 votes last time!

Indivisible Charlottesville poster for theNo Kings Day rally on 6/14 Noon-2pm at the Shops at Stonefield. Image shows an orange-hued photo of trump with a cartoon crown on his head that's been Xed out. The date/time/location information lines are each in a different bold color against a dark blue background filled with rows of barely visible words "No Kings" in black capital letters.No Kings Day rally organized locally by Indivisible Charlottesville is happening June 14, 12-2 pm at Stonefield to protest Trump trying to turn his birthday into a national extravaganza-with-military-parade; we say nuts to that!! This is a big national protest, we hope another Hands Off rally that turned out 4000+ people in April. It’s exhilarating being there with so many like-minded community members, so plan to come out in numbers (i.e. bring along lots of friends and family) to ensure we send a loud and clear message.
