TIME SUBJECT

4:30 p.m. Public Hearing to Consider an Ordinance to Amend and Readopt Fairfax County Code Sections 7-2-13 and 7-3-2, to relocate the polling place for Holmes precinct from Culmore Community Library, 6101 Knollwood Dr., Falls Church, to Bailey’s Elementary School, 6111 Knollwood Dr., Falls Church, in the Mason District; and recognize the relocation of the Franconia Governmental Center to 7130 Silver Lake Boulevard, Alexandria, which serves as a voter satellite office. The Virginia Code permits the governing body of each county and city to establish by ordinance as many precincts as it deems necessary with one polling place for each precinct. The Board of Supervisors is authorized to change precinct boundaries, polling place locations, and voter satellite office locations subject to the requirements of Virginia Code Sections 24.2-307, 24.2-310, 24.2-310.1, and 24.2-701.2. Virginia Code Section 24.2-129 also requires that certain “covered practices” go through either a statutorily specified public comment process or receive a Certification of No Objection from the Attorney General before the practices can be given effect. Among the “covered practices” identified are any changes that relocate polling places in the County. The Board must first adopt an ordinance making the proposed changes. If and after the Board adopts the ordinance, the County Attorney will file a request for a Certification of No Objection with the Virginia Attorney General, in accordance with Virginia Code Section 24.2-129(D). All registered voters affected by a change in their precinct and/or polling place will be mailed a notice in advance of the next election, which is expected to be the August 4, 2026, Primary Election. Questions regarding this proposed ordinance may be directed to the Fairfax County Office of Elections at 703-222-0776. Copies of the full text of the proposed ordinance, descriptions and maps of the above changes, and other related documents are on file and available for review at the office of the Clerk for the Board of Supervisors, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 552, Fairfax, VA (703-324-3151).
