VA Constitutional Amendments

As of 2/7/26, these 3 amendments have been signed by Governor Spanberger, but must be approved by voters to be added to Virginia's Constitution.  All three will be on the ballot for the General Election November 3, 2026.  

VA Constitutional Amendments

• Reproductive Freedom (SB449/HJ1): Proposes a constitutional amendment to establish a fundamental right to reproductive care, including abortion, while allowing third-trimester restrictions unless the patient's health is at risk. 

• Voting Rights Restoration (SJ2/HJ2): Proposes automatically restoring voting rights to ctizens upon release from incarceration for a felony conviction, removing the requirement for executive clemency.

• Same-Sex Marriage (HJ3): Aims to repeal the current, invalidated constitutional definition of marriage as only between one man and one woman, replacing it with an affirmative right to marriage for all adult persons.

The COVACoalition has a great summary, including ballot language for these amendments.
