The Virginia General Assembly dates from the establishment of the
House of Burgesses at Jamestown in 1619. It is heralded by Virginians as
the "oldest continuous law-making body in the New World."
The 1776 Virginia Constitution confirmed our bicameral
legislature, which consists of the House of Delegates and Senate of
Virginia. The present state Constitution, adopted in 1970, provides that
the House of Delegates shall consist of 90 to 100 members and the Senate
shall consist of 33 to 40 members. All members of the General Assembly
are elected by qualified voters within their respective House and Senate
districts. The terms of office are two years for members of the House
and four years for members of the Senate. Members may not hold any other
public office during their term of office.
The General Assembly's chief responsibilities are to represent
citizens in the formulation of public policy, enact laws of the
Commonwealth, approve the budget, levy taxes, elect judges and confirm
appointments by the Governor.

Why Vote?
Voting is your fundamental right as an American,
and the most basic means by which you have a voice in how your
government works. By voting, you participate in a process that
determines who will represent you, your family, and your neighbors
in your community, your state, and your country.
Election Day history
Election Day (the day that United States citizens cast their ballot
to elect government officials) is the Tuesday on or after November
2nd.
Why it is the day it is:
November was selected because the harvest work was done.
Tuesday was selected because many people had to travel the day
before to reach the polling place. Since most people did not travel
on Sunday for religious reasons, they did not want it to be on a
Monday.
They did not want Election Day to fall on November 1st because it is
All Saints Day.
They did not want Election Day to fall on the first of the month
because many shop keepers did their books for the preceding month on
the first.
