Virginia Beach voters back 10-district voting plan
City voters on Tuesday supported a 10-district voting system that has been used in two election cycles but was never codified in the city charter.
The victory means the process of formally including the system in the charter may go forward for state approval before Virginia Beach elections next year.
Unofficial returns show 53% of voters chose what is called a 10-1 system over a “modified” version of the city’s former 7-3-1 system.
The result could put the city closer to ending years of litigation and political wrangling about voting in City Council and School Board elections.
