Jonathan Martin led Joseph Schenk Jr. by 6,097 votes in the contested at-large Henry County School Board race, according to unofficial results posted at 11:58 p.m. Tuesday. Martin took 69.8 percent of the vote, 10,740 to 4,643.

Election-night results were listed as complete for all 24 precincts, though provisional ballots were still partially reported. The county reported 18,268 ballots cast among 37,570 registered voters, a turnout of about 49 percent. Henry County voters favored Republicans Bert Mizusawa for Senate and Rep. Morgan Griffith in the federal races; Mizusawa received 10,656 votes, or 58.7 percent, in the county's U.S. Senate race, while Democrat Mark Warner received 7,469, or 41.15 percent. Statewide, Warner won a fourth term with about 61 percent in unofficial returns.

County voters opposed all three proposed amendments to the Virginia Constitution. Question 1, concerning reproductive freedom, received 7,476 yes votes and 10,490 no votes; Question 2, which would remove the state's constitutional same-sex marriage ban and require equal treatment of legally valid marriages, received 5,470 yes votes and 12,497 no votes; and Question 3, concerning voting rights and restoration of voting rights after incarceration, received 6,816 yes votes and 11,137 no votes. In uncontested county races, Katherine Minter Salgado received 15,650 votes for clerk of court and Treasurer Tiffanie Seay Hairston received 15,764. In Ridgeway, Mayor Craig A. G. Oder Jr. received 198 votes, and in the town council contest where voters could select up to six, James B. Hairston received 134, Michael R. Bass 117, Maeve S. McCulloch 103 and William W. Westberg Jr. 102.
