Voters are heading to the polls Tuesday for Virginia's presidential primary. 

The commonwealth is among 14 states voting for a Democratic candidate. Virginia holds open primaries, which allows any registered voter--regardless of party--to vote. 

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, former vice president Joe Biden, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and U.S Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii are the only candidates still in contention. 

Polls are open until 7 p.m. If you're in line by then, you will be able to vote. 

WHRO's reporters are at polling places across Hampton Roads covering the election and capturing photos. We will continue to update this post throughout the day.

VA election officials are prepared to run ballots out to registered voters who have difficulty walking. In addition to ensuring polling integrity, election officials wear a sticker that invites voters to join the elections staff. It's a day for recruiting, too.

State laws prohibiting campaigning within a certain distance of polling places didn't have much challenge this morning in Virginia Beach. Outside of official election signage, there weren't many candidate law signs to be seen.
