Virginia ballot measures, 2014

The 2014 Virginia State Elections took place on Election Day, November 4, 2014, the same day as the U.S. Senate and U.S. House elections in the state. The only statewide election on the ballot was one constitutional referendum to amend the Virginia State Constitution. Because Virginia state elections are held on off-years, no statewide officers or state legislative elections were held. The referendum was referred to the voters by the Virginia General Assembly. [1] The amendment easily passed, although final vote totals await the final certification of results by the state board of elections.

Question 1

The amendment amends section 6-A of Article X and grants a property tax exemption to a surviving spouse of an armed services member that was killed in action if the spouse uses the property as their primary residence and they have not remarried.
