They're known as party canvasses or unassembled caucuses or sometimes firehouse primaries. They nominate candidates in a process that is run by party leaders rather than election officials. They rarely happen for regularly scheduled elections because of requirements for participation of overseas and military voters.

Five Democrats will compete in a firehouse primary Saturday for a Loudoun County state House seat, which Del. Kannan Srinivasan (D) is vacating after winning his party’s nomination last week for an open state Senate seat.

Feggans, a Democrat, will face former Del. Tim Anderson, a Republican, who decided to run in an effort to flip the Democratic-controlled majority in the House.

Low-turnout special elections can be unpredictable. Just last year, Democrats were able to flip a red seat blue in Hampton Roads. Now, Republicans are hoping they'll be able to pull off a similar upset victory in Northern Virginia.

While most states have time to breathe after presidential elections, Virginia has what are known as off-year elections.

The overall 2024 turnout rate was just over 69%, the lowest for a presidential election since 2000, according to ELECT. That year George W. Bush and Al Gore were on the ballot.
