Virginia's voters are heading to the polls for special elections on Tuesday, with significant implications for state Senate and House control.
A special election is necessary due to Democratic Sen. Suhas Subramanyam winning a seat in Congress, creating vacancies in state Senate District 32 and House District 26.
Two races will feature candidates from both major parties, including Kannan Srinivasan (Democrat) and Tumay Harding (Republican) for Senate District 32.
In state Senate District 10, a Republican seat left by John McGuire is contested by Luther Cifers (Republican) and Jack Trammell (Democrat).
The outcomes in these elections could potentially shift the slim Democratic control of the Virginia state legislature, necessitating a power-sharing agreement if Republicans succeed.
