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. In 2021, voters rejected a very similar proposal by a narrow margin. Despite being outspent $2.6 million to $231,000, voters split 51% to 49% against a casino, a margin of less than 1,500 votes. Western precincts in the City voted largely against the proposal, while most of the support centered in the eastern and southern precincts.
