(The Center Square) – Supporters of three proposed amendments to Virginia’s constitution have reported more than five times as much money as opponents ahead of the Nov. 3 election.

Figures from the Virginia Public Access Project show committees supporting the amendments reported $4,474,230 in receipts through Sept. 30. Public Access attributed $871,061 to opposing committees.

The largest totals involve Question 1, which would establish constitutional protections for abortion and other reproductive health decisions.

Supporting committees reported $3,228,426, compared with $806,518 attributed to opponents.

Abortion is already legal in Virginia, but the state constitution does not explicitly protect reproductive freedom. The amendment would establish that right for decisions involving contraception, prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, abortion, miscarriage management and fertility care.

It would also change the requirements for third-trimester abortions.

Current law requires three physicians to certify that certain medical conditions are met. The amendment would allow state regulation but prohibit a ban when one physician determines an abortion is medically indicated to protect the patient’s life or physical or mental health, or determines the fetus is not viable.

Question 3 would change how Virginians convicted of felonies regain their voting rights.

Supporting committees reported $771,562, compared with $8,873 attributed to opponents.

Virginia’s constitution provides for the loss of voting rights following a felony conviction unless those rights are restored by the governor or another appropriate authority.

The amendment would automatically restore voting rights upon release from incarceration, without requiring action by the governor. It conditions restoration on release rather than completion of probation or payment of restitution.

The proposal would also establish a fundamental right to vote for qualified Virginians and change the standard for courts to remove voting rights based on a person’s capacity to understand the act of voting.

Question 2 would remove Virginia’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

Supporting committees reported $474,242, compared with $55,670 attributed to opponents.

Same-sex marriage has been legal in Virginia since 2014, and a 2024 state law prohibits denying marriage licenses based on sex, gender or race.

The amendment would remove the constitutional ban and require equal treatment of lawful marriages between two adults.

The Virginia Public Access Project split the receipts from two committees opposing all three amendments equally among the questions.
