Virginia State University hosts political event ahead of upcoming special election
On Thursday, April 9, 2026, Virginia State University (VSU) will host a high-profile civic event at the Alfred W.
Harris Academic Commons.
The university is welcoming the digital political program "Roland Martin Unfiltered" for a live taping featuring prominent figures such as U.S.
Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, along with U.S.
Representative Jennifer McClellan.
The primary focus of this election is a statewide referendum regarding a proposed amendment to the Virginia Constitution concerning congressional redistricting.
Voters will decide whether the General Assembly should be granted temporary authority to redraw congressional districts.
A "Yes" vote would permit these changes before the 2026 midterms, while a "No" vote would maintain the current oversight by the Virginia Redistricting Commission.
