Virginia constitutional amendment on redistricting passes
The Augusta Free Press reports: Virginia voters overwhelmingly approved amendments to the state Constitution that will clarify the effective date and implementation of redistricting laws and add names to the list of state leaders who could serve as acting governor in the event of a catastrophic emergency.
The proposed amendment to Article II, Section 6 of the Virginia Constitution dealing with the reapportionment of legislative seats passed on Tuesday with more than 85 percent of voters giving their endorsement.
The amendment to Article V, Section 16, which governs the line of succession to the office of governor, passed with more than 87 percent of the vote.
The amendment to Article II will require that any vacancy that would come to exist for seats in the United States House of Representatives, the Virginia Senate or the Virginia House of Delegates be filled from the district as it existed when the member who died or resigned was elected. -- Augusta Free Press : Amendments pass easily
