Virginia primary election 2025: When do exit polls and results come out?
The polling in Virginia began at 6 am on Tuesday, June 17. In the primary election, people cast their ballots to choose Democratic nominees for the posts of lieutenant governor, attorney general and select House of Delegates.
Voting takes place from 6 am to 7 pm on Tuesday, while those standing in line at the closing time will be allowed to vote. Residents can take note of their sample primary ballot for the counties here. Voters are advised to bring their acceptable form of identification to the centers.
The Virginia primary election results 2025 will come out after 7 pm ET on Tuesday.
The Republican Party, under President Donald Trump, has set its nominees for the 2025 Virginia gubernatorial election, slated for November 4.
It has picked Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears for governor, talk-radio host John Reid for lieutenant governor and Attorney General Jason S. Miyares seeking re-election.
The Democrats have a nominee for the governor's post, former congresswoman Abigail Spanberger.
The 45-day early voting period in Virginia came to an end on Saturday and saw heavy turnout compared to past primary elections. The polls hold major significance for the Donald Trump administration ahead of the 2026 midterms.
The political landscape of Virginia is likely in favour of the Democrats, but still offers major opportunities for the Republicans. During last year's US presidential election, Kamala Harris won the state by six points, even though it shifted right.
In November, the state will create history when a woman will hold the office of the governor for the first time. It could be either Abigail Spanberger, who earlier represented Virginia's 7th Congressional District on Capitol Hill, or Winsome Earle-Sears, the current lieutenant governor.

Wall Street choppy, oil dips as US holds back from Mideast military action
NEW YORK (Reuters) -Major Wall Street indexes closed lower on Friday while oil prices fell after U.S. President Donald Trump held back from immediate military action in the Israel-Iran conflict. All eyes remained trained on the Middle East one week after an initial Israeli assault drew Iranian retaliation. The U.S. imposed Iran-related sanctions a day after Trump said he might take two weeks to decide on further action. According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 lost 0.21%, while the Nasdaq Composite shed 0.49%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, however, rose 38.47 points, or 0.09%, to 42,210.13. Stocks had been broadly positive at the open, and dipped in and out of negative territory during the session. Global benchmark Brent crude futures fell 2.3% to settle at $77.01 a barrel, but gained 3.6% in the week. Front-month U.S. crude - which did not settle on Thursday due to a U.S. holiday and expires on Friday - ended down 0.28% at $74.93, with a weekly gain of 2.7%. [O/R] "Investors are a little bit nervous about buying stocks right in front of this situation and, more specifically, right in front of this weekend," said Rick Meckler, a partner at Cherry Lane Investments in New Vernon, New Jersey. The new sanctions target entities, individuals and vessels providing Iran with defence machinery, and were seen as a sign of a diplomatic approach from the Trump administration. "However, while Israel and Iran carry on pounding away at each other, there can always be an unintended action that escalates the conflict and touches upon oil infrastructure," PVM analyst John Evans said. European foreign ministers urged Iran to engage with the U.S. over its nuclear programme after high-level talks in Geneva about a potential new nuclear deal ended with little sign of progress. Europe's main bourses [.EU] had ended their session a touch higher, following similar gains across Asia. MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe fell 0.01% on the day. Gains on Hong Kong's Hang Seng, and South Korea's Kospi linked to newly elected President Lee Jae Myung's stimulus, had boosted Asian shares during that session. Federal Reserve policymakers made their first public comments since Chair Jerome Powell said on Wednesday that borrowing costs were likely to fall this year, but that he expects "meaningful" inflation ahead as Trump's tariffs raise prices for consumers. The close split between governors on how to manage the risks was in full view as Governor Christopher Waller said the central bank should consider cutting as soon as the next meeting, while the Richmond Fed's Tom Barkin said there was no urgency to cut. Powell had also cautioned on Wednesday against holding on too strongly to the forecasts. Treasury yields fell after Waller's comments, and as concerns about the Middle East conflict supported demand for safe haven bonds. The yield on benchmark 10-year notes fell 2 basis points to 4.375%, from 4.395% late on Wednesday. Demand rose for the U.S. dollar, pushing the greenback to a three-week high against the yen. The dollar rose 0.03% against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro , with the euro up 0.3% at $1.1528. The index is poised to rise 0.6% this week. Prices for gold, another traditional refuge, fell 0.13% to $3,365.91 and were poised for a weekly loss.
