How Reston Precincts Voted In 2026 Redistricting Special Election

RESTON, VA — Residents across Reston’s 16 precincts turned out in significant numbers Tuesday to support a statewide constitutional amendment, contributing to an overwhelming "Yes" vote in Fairfax County during the April 21 special election.

According to the Virginia Department of Elections, the "Yes" campaign received 1,575,288 votes statewide, while 1,486,225 voters cast "No" ballots.

The amendment, which allows the General Assembly to redraw congressional districts for the remainder of the decade, saw overwhelming support in the Reston area.

The narrow victory was fueled primarily by high turnout in Northern Virginia and the Richmond suburbs, which offset strong opposition in the state’s more rural southern and western districts.

In Virginia’s most populous jurisdiction, voters signaled their approval of the redistricting shift with a decisive margin. According to official results from the Fairfax County Office of Elections, the measure passed comfortably:

• No: 115,280 (30.49%)
• Total Votes Cast: 378,245
