Virginia government

Virginia’s government is a democratic system with three branches: the Executive, led by the Governor; the Legislative, consisting of the General Assembly (Senate and House of Delegates); and the Judicial, including courts that interpret laws. The Governor enforces laws and oversees state agencies. The General Assembly makes laws and budgets for the state, with elected representatives. Judicial courts handle legal disputes. Virginia’s government operates based on a constitution, ensuring accountability and balance of power. Citizens vote for their representatives and governor, shaping policies and laws affecting daily life across the state.
