VA: YOUNGKIN'S EARLY VOTING PUSH SEEMS TO BE WORKING [View all]

New data shows Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s push to encourage Republican voters to cast their ballot before Election Day is working.

According to the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP), more Republicans are voting early ahead of this year’s General Assembly elections than in years past.

According to VPAP, Republican voters are responsible for 38.7% of the in-person, early voting across the state. That’s an 8% increase compared to the same time in 2021 — the last time Virginia held statewide elections.

“The fact that there is even some measurable uptick suggests that he is making some inroads, that this effort is successful,” said Rich Meagher, Professor of Political Science at Randolph-Macon College.
