Do you live in the Gainesville District?
Unsure if you live in the Gainesville Magisterial District? You are not alone. I frequently meet people who aren’t familiar with the districting for our county.
Some people who have a Gainesville address actually live in the Brentsville Magisterial District versus the Gainesville Magisterial District. Depending on which part of Manassas you live in, you could be in the City of Manassas (outside the county), or a county resident in the Gainesville District, Brentsville District, Coles District or Occoquan District. Most Haymarket residents reside in the Gainesville District, but part of Haymarket is located in the Brentsville District. Redistricting over the years has also confused residents.
Go to the Virginia Dept. of Elections Citizen Portal to check your voter registration status and find your voting precinct. Precinct numbers 401 through 414 are located in the Gainesville District.
Please spread the word about Patrick’s campaign and this critical special election for Board of County Supervisors!
