Virginia voters are beginning to cast their ballots in a contentious presidential election year, with several competitive congressional races on the ballot. Here’s what to know about the Nov. 5 election as early voting begins in the state.

Virginia’s 45-day early voting period starts Friday, which is one of the longest in the country. Senator Aaron Rouse is chairman of the committee that oversees voting laws in Virginia, and he says Democrats will continue to reject Republican efforts to roll back early voting.

Some voters can cast their ballot in person Friday in Minnesota, Virginia and South Dakota. 45 days out, here is where Trump and Harris stand.
