What Is This Feed?
The Virginia General Assembly offers video portals for its 100 delegates and 40 senators in Richmond. It traces its roots to 1619 and is known as the oldest continuous lawmaking body in the Western Hemisphere.
When Can I Watch?
The 2026 session ran from January 14 to March 14. Virginia's sessions start in January and are shorter in odd-numbered years, longer in even-numbered years. Dates change each year, so confirm the current calendar on the official site.
Why This Feed Matters?
Virginia's assembly began in 1619 with a small group of colonists trying to govern themselves. Today, anyone can watch its descendants at work, which shows how far the idea of open self-government has traveled.
