In Page County, voters will be taking part in a special election to pick a new sheriff.
Residents had elected Daniel Presgraves in 2007, but he resigned earlier this year amid a federal investigation on charges of racketeering, bribe taking, sexual charges and several others.
He later pleaded guilty and was convicted, and he is currently awaiting sentencing.
Both of the men running to replace Presgraves have experience in law enforcement, including the Virginia State Police and local offices.
Interim Sheriff John Thomas, a VSP veteran, was appointed to run the Page County Sheriff's Office until Tuesday's special election could take place.
He is running to become to sheriff for the next term.
His opponent, Shenandoah Chief of Police Pete Monteleone, ran unsuccessfully against Presgraves in 2007.
Monteleone has been the chief of police for the town of Shenandoah for nine years.

I just met Pete for the first time this week and had the previledge to get to know him in great depth. He has integrity, compassion, commitment, and love for his family, as well as his community and friends. I've observed his unlimited dedication to his work and family. If you need someone to trust, he's your man.
If Monteleone was the best don't you think he would have won? He wasn't, and he lost for a second time. No one wants him as Sheriff he needs to give up.
Its ok ,, we all know who was best & that was Pete but people in Page County love drama thats why they dont put the Real man in there. so now deal with it 4 years,, you still # 1 Pete countinue in Shenandoah you have done lots of great things there,, your day will come,, Page County people will wake up oneday
