(23,156 posts)1. Given that we're just at the beginning of August 2015,
there's not going to yet be any official candidates for that primary. I see that your primary is held on March 1, which is fairly early. My guess is that the candidates will be filing starting some time in the fall.
Here's a link to the Democratic Party of Virginia website: http://www.vademocrats.org/
You could call them tomorrow and see what they tell you. The Presidential Primary is statewide, so your county won't matter.
