Growth at some voting precincts puts pressure on Fairfax County leaders, election officials

Despite continued growth in early voting, Fairfax is facing an increasing space crunch at its Election Day voting locations.

“Many precincts are growing rapidly,” Fairfax County Electoral Board chair Kate Hanley told the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors yesterday (Tuesday) during a review of the 2024 election season.

Consider the case of precinct #332 at Coates Elementary School, south of Herndon along the Loudoun County border. With 6,221 active voters and 7,248 total voters, it’s the largest in Fairfax County and one of the largest in the Commonwealth.

Precincts in Tysons, Merrifield, Reston and Huntington, among other areas, are also beginning to burst at the seams, Hanley told supervisors.
