Fairfax County General Registrar Gary D. Scott says enthusiasm this year is high for a non-presidential election.
Virginia's 10th Congresssional district stretches into 49 precincts of Fairfax County, which could explain the level of interest. The race pits incumbent Rep. Barbara Comstock (R) against State Sen. Jennifer Wexton (D).
"Mid-(term) elections, we generally run half of what we would see for a presidential election," Scott said. "As of (Monday morning), we've issued almost as many absentee ballots as we did for 2016 at the same point in time."
Scott said almost 32,000 absentee ballots were issued as of Monday, Oct. 15. Virginia voters can apply for an absentee ballot by mail through Oct. 30.
In Maryland, an issue on the ballot addresses whether or not the state will allow Election-day registration like they currently have in D.C., pushing the deadline back a few days.
