Four years ago—the last time we voted for the governor of Virginia—Election Day was a bit lackluster locally. Roughly only 48% of registered voters cast their ballots in Greene County. In 2020, however, Greene residents broke the record for votes cast with 79% of registered voters going to the polls. Of course, that was a presidential election, which historically gets more people out to vote.
