Casino Referendum
In addition to the General Assembly seats, voters in the City of Richmond will also decide whether the new Richmond Grand Resort Casino will be coming to the city.

Western precincts in the City voted largely against the proposal, while most of the support centered in the eastern and southern precincts.
