Richmond, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - Virginia's primary day is Tuesday. Polls will open at 6am Tuesday and stay open until 7pm. Early voting finished Saturday.
Elections Commissioner Susan Beals says they have made some improvements to their reporting website, and results will be updated in real time.
