The RNC won at the trial court:

Feb. 19, 2026: A hearing was held and the court granted the RNC’s temporary restraining order, halting preparation for the special election.

The state Supreme Court granted a stay that allowed the election to proceed:

Mar. 4, 2026: The Virginia Supreme Court paused the trial court’s Feb. 19 order halting preparations for the election and remanded to the trial court to enter final judgment. The special election will move forward with early voting beginning on Mar. 6.

After the election, the lower court voided it:

Apr. 22, 2026: The court declared the legislature’s passage of the proposed constitutional amendment and the referendum unconstitutional.

Then the state Supreme Court agreed to hear it:

Apr. 24, 2026: The Virginia Supreme Court decided to review the case.
