MCLEAN, VA — Voters in McLean’s 14 precincts turned out in force on Tuesday to support a statewide constitutional amendment, providing a critical pillar of support for the measure’s passage in Fairfax County during the April 21 special election.

The amendment, which authorizes the General Assembly to redraw congressional districts for the remainder of the decade, saw its highest margins of support in Northern Virginia. In McLean, the "Yes" campaign carried every precinct, with several locations reporting more than 75 percent approval for the change in redistricting authority.

The passage of the amendment triggers the immediate implementation of a new congressional map passed by the General Assembly earlier this year. Supporters argue the move is necessary to counter partisan redistricting in other states, while opponents characterized the amendment as an erosion of the independent commission process established in 2020.
