Virginia Voters Back Constitutional Protection for Same-Sex Marriage

Voters in the US state of Virginia backed an amendment protecting same-sex marriage in the state constitution on November 3, 2026. Results are still subject to official certification.

Virginia passed Question 2, removing the constitutional same-sex marriage ban and prohibiting denial of marriage licenses to two adults based on sex, gender or race. According to VPM, support stood at about 57.4% by November 4 afternoon. Same-sex marriage is already legal; the change concerns its state constitutional guarantee.

Uránia previously reported on Virginia’s marriage amendment being placed on the ballot.
