Two State Senators Will Serve Fort Hunt

Election Day will be here in about three weeks, on Tuesday, Nov. 8.  Because of redistricting, Fort Hunt now has two state Senate districts: the 30th District and 36th District. Residents will need to know if they are voting in District 30 or District 36 before they vote.

Beginning in the south, the dividing line (for Fort Hunt) between the two districts runs from Wittington Boulevard, makes a right on Elkin Street, a left onto Fort Hunt Road, and then begins to zig and zag a bit onto both sides of Fort Hund Road after Collingwood Road. Patch has enclosed maps of both districts here but to see more details, visit VPAP, for the 36th here and the 30th here.

For a "before and after" redistricting map for the 30th, visit this VPAP page. For 36th, visit this VPAP page.

After the election, Fort Hunt will be served by two state senators. Depending on the results of the election, it’s possible Fort Hunt could be represented by both a Democrat and a Republican.

The Fairfax County Office of Elections is in the process of mailing all registered voters new voter registration cards, which should be completely processed by Oct. 31. 

You can also check your registration, district, polling place and see a sample ballot at the State Board of Elections Web site.
