## Competitiveness[edit]

### Candidates unopposed by a major party[edit]

In 71 of the 100 districts up for election in 2015, there was only one major party candidate running for election. A total of 27 Democrats and 44 Republicans were guaranteed election barring unforeseen circumstances.

Two major party candidates faced off in the general election in 29 of the 100 districts up for election.

### Primary challenges[edit]

Six incumbents faced primary competition on June 9. Nine incumbents did not seek re-election in 2015 and the remaining 85 incumbents advanced past the primary without opposition. Two of the six incumbents facing primary competition were defeated:

* District 29: Chris Collins defeated incumbent Mark J. Berg in the Republican primary.
* District 79: Steve Heretick defeated incumbent Johnny Joannou in the Democratic primary.

The June 9 primary elections featured six contested Democratic primaries and four contested Republican primaries.

### Retiring incumbents[edit]

Nine incumbent delegates did not run for re-election, while 91 (91%) ran for re-election. A list of those incumbents—five Democrats and four Republicans—can be found above.

### Historical context[edit]

See also: Competitiveness in State Legislative Elections: 1972-2014

Uncontested elections: In 2014, 32.8 percent of Americans lived in states with an uncontested state senate election. Similarly, 40.4 percent of Americans lived in states with uncontested house elections. Primary elections were uncontested even more frequently, with 61 percent of people living in states with no contested primaries. Uncontested elections often occur in locations that are so politically one-sided that the result of an election would be a foregone conclusion regardless of whether it was contested or not.

Open seats: In most cases, an incumbent will run for re-election, which decreases the number of open seats available. In 2014, 83 percent of the 6,057 seats up for election saw the incumbent running for re-election. The states that impose term limits on their legislatures typically see a higher percentage of open seats in a given year because a portion of incumbents in each election are forced to leave office. Overall, the number of open seats decreased from 2012 to 2014, dropping from 21.2 percent in 2012 to 17.0 percent in 2014.

Incumbent win rates: Ballotpedia's competitiveness analysis of elections between 1972 and 2014 documented the high propensity for incumbents to win re-election in state legislative elections. In fact, since 1972, the win rate for incumbents had not dropped below 90 percent—with the exception of 1974, when 88 percent of incumbents were re-elected to their seats. Perhaps most importantly, the win rate for incumbents generally increased over time. In 2014, 96.5 percent of incumbents were able to retain their seats. Common convention holds that incumbents are able to leverage their office to maintain their seat. However, the high incumbent win rate may actually be a result of incumbents being more likely to hold seats in districts that are considered safe for their party.

Marginal primaries: Often, competitiveness is measured by examining the rate of elections that have been won by amounts that are considered marginal (5 percent or less). During the 2014 election, 90.1 percent of primary and general election races were won by margins higher than 5 percent. Interestingly, it is usually the case that only one of the two races—primary or general—will be competitive at a time. This means that if a district's general election is competitive, typically one or more of the district's primaries were won by more than 5 percent. The reverse is also true: If a district sees a competitive primary, it is unlikely that the general election for that district will be won by less than 5 percent. Primaries often see very low voter turnout in comparison to general elections. In 2014, there were only 27 million voters for state legislative primaries, but approximately 107 million voters for the state legislative general elections.

## Qualifications[edit]

Delegates must be at least 21 years of age at the time of the election, residents of the district they represent, and qualified to vote for members of the Virginia General Assembly.[11]

## List of candidates[edit]

Qualified primary and general election candidates are listed below.[12] If a candidate was unopposed for a primary, no primary was held and the candidate was declared the party nominee.

The deadline for both the Democratic and Republican parties to select nominees for any districts without primary candidates was June 9.

Independent and third-party candidates had to file with the state by June 9 in order to qualify for the general election ballot.

Note: According to Virginia Department of Elections rules, in districts where only one candidate filed, that candidate is declared the nominee for the respective party. In such cases, no primary election was held in that district.[13]
