The Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP) has released new resources to help Virginians stay informed and engaged with the upcoming 2026 elections, including in-depth profiles for U.S. House primaries and tools to track early voting. These initiatives underscore VPAP's commitment to providing trusted, transparent, and nonpartisan data as the nation celebrates 250 years of democracy.
VPAP's Congressional Primary Profiles offer comprehensive information on candidates, fundraising comparisons, district demographics, and past election results. Additionally, the organization provides daily updates on early voting across Virginia for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and local primaries, allowing citizens to monitor ballot casting in their districts. Users can enter their address on VPAP's website to find relevant August primaries.
Further enhancing public access to political information, VPAP features its "Policy Matters" podcast, which recently covered state budget compromises, new Virginia laws, and legislator conflict of interest disclosures. The "Virginia Press Room" podcast explores historical topics, including an Independence Day speech by Frederick Douglass. VPAP also publishes weekly lobbyist registrations and reports on large donations of $10,000 or more to political committees, ensuring transparency in campaign finance.
"I'm proud of VPAP's resources that help Virginians become more informed and engaged," said Cat Anthony, Executive Director. The organization encourages community support to continue delivering essential, free, and accessible information.
