Vote yes on 10-1

a non-partisan coalition formed in support of Virginia Beach's current 10-1 voting system.

The Coalition calls for a YES vote on the referendum question in the November General Election. The current 10-1 voting system that has been in place since 2022, provides residents with access and accountability in representation on City Council and the School Board. 10-1 ensures that each person's vote is directly represented in local government decisions.

The following question will be on the Nov. 4 ballot:

November elections referendum question about changing the Virginia Beach City Charter from a 7-3-1 system to a 10-1 system, with options for 'Yes' or 'No'. The 'Yes' option is marked with a filled-in circle and outlined in green.
A graphic showing four sections, each with a statement about voting in Virginia Beach, with green 'YES' responses. The sections cover local representation, fair elections, accountability, and proven results.
