2018 Virginia elections

2018 Virginia's 8th House of Delegates district special election was also held that day.

The seat, being vacated by Greg Habeeb, was sought by Republican Roanoke County Supervisor Joe McNamara and Radford University associate director Democrat Carter Turner.

Both proposed ballot amendments received nearly universal, bipartisan support in the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate.

Amendment 1 reads: "Should a county, city, or town be authorized to provide a partial tax exemption for real property that is subject to recurrent flooding, if flooding resiliency improvements have been made on the property?"

Amendment 2 reads: "Shall the real property tax exemption for a primary residence that is currently provided to the surviving spouses of veterans who had a one hundred percent service-connected, permanent, and total disability be amended to allow the surviving spouse to move to a different primary residence and still claim the exemption?"
