Falls Church Voter Turnout In 2018 Close To Presidential Election

FALLS CHURCH, VA—Election Day in Virginia saw three congressional districts flip to the Democrats, which included Jennifer Wexton's victory over Rep. Barbara Comstock in Northern Virginia. While the City of Falls Church didn't have the same kind of competitive races, turnout was high for a non-presidential election year.

According to unofficial results, 7,205 out of 10,516 registered voters cast ballot. That's a 74.1 percent turnout, close to the 77 percent in the 2016 presidential election.

For the largely blue area, it wasn't a matter of who voters were going to choose for Congress but by how much. Falls Church voters overwhelmingly re-elected Democratic Rep. Don Beyer and chose Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine over Republican Corey Stewart.
