Election Day is this Tuesday, and there are quite a few choices to make on the ballot.

Across Virginia, voters will be choosing the three highest statewide offices on Tuesday.

Running for governor to lead the state of Virginia through the next four years are Democrat Terry McAuliffe, Republican Glenn Youngkin and Libertarian Princess Blanding.

Running for lieutenant governor are Democrat Hala Ayala and Republican Winsome Sears.

Running for attorney general are the incumbent Democrat, Mark Herring, and Republican Jason Miyares.

Across the state, voters will also choose House of Delegates candidates in Suffolk, thats for the 64th District, where incumbent Republican Emily Brewer and Democrat Michael Drewry are running, or the 76th District, where incumbent Democrat Clinton Jenkins has two challengers in Republican Mike Dillender and independent Craig Warren.

Across the city, there will also be elections for four constitutional offices. For Commonwealths Attorney, Craig Bales and Narendra Pleas are running for an open seat occasioned by Phil Fergusons retirement. For Treasurer, David Boyd faces off against incumbent Ron Williams. And Commissioner of the Revenue Susan Draper and Sheriff E.C. Harris are running unopposed for re-election.

Readers in the Sleepy Hole Borough will also find a special election for a School Board member to serve the remainder of a term ending on Dec. 31, 2024. Member David Mitnick stepped down from the board earlier this year, and Linda Johnson filled the seat by appointment, but running in the election to fill the remainder of the term are Heather Howell and Ebony Wright.
