On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Manassas and Manassas Park voters will elect a U.S. senator, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and three members of their respective city council. City of Manassas voters will also elect three school board members.

A state-run Democratic primary election will held on Tuesday, June 16, 2026 to decide any contested Democratic nominations for U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, and/or Manassas City Council.

Candidates for Manassas Park City Council and for Manassas City School Board are officially nonpartisan. They cannot be nominated by any political party and must qualify independently to appear on the general election ballot. However, political parties can endorse such candidates, and we expect to do so in 2026.
