Next week, Richmond voters will go to the polls.

Primary elections will be held in two area Senate and two area House of Delegates districts on Tuesday, June 9, to determine who will carry the Democratic banner into the general election in November.

Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. for voters to elect their choices in the 10th and 16th Senate districts and in the 69th and 74th House districts.

Separately, Petersburg area voters will be choosing from among five candidates vying for the Democratic primary nomination in the 63rd House District.

Candidates are making their final appeals to the voters leading up to Tuesday’s primary elections.

Area registrars are forecasting that fewer than 10 percent of voters will turn out to make their voices heard in these intra-party battles that largely have been shoe-leather affairs in which candidates have gone door-to-door seeking support.

The likely low participation makes it hard to predict the outcome.

Here is a roundup of the races:

Senate District 10: Three candidates are vying for the Democratic nomination to take on Republican and city School Board member Glenn H. Sturtevant Jr. and Libertarian Carl Richard Loser in the November general election. The district includes western and southwestern parts of Richmond, part of central and eastern Chesterfield County and all of Powhatan County.

Fighting to win the Democratic nomination are Emily C. Francis, Daniel A. Gecker and Alex B. McMurtrie Jr.

Senate District 10

Mr. Gecker, a lawyer and member of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, is considered the front-runner in the race, having corralled endorsements from Gov. Terry McAuliffe and most of the Democratic elected officials. He touts his record on education, transportation and regional cooperation.

Mr. McMurtrie, an attorney who previously served in the House of Delegates, has self-financed his campaign and made his top issue his claim that the state has gone down the wrong road in shifting money for public education to road building, though he has struggled to prove his claim.

Ms. Francis, a veteran lobbyist for conservation groups, has promoted herself as a fresh face who has experience in public policy as a lobbyist for conservation groups.

Senate District 16: This race features a head-to-head contest between incumbent Sen. Rosalyn R. Dance, a former delegate who won the Senate seat in a special election last year, and freshman Delegate Joseph E. Preston, who won a special election to replace Sen. Dance in the House in January, and is now trying to unseat her.

Senate District 16

Delegate Preston is considered the underdog in a race where Sen. Dance has raised more money and corralled more endorsements. His main theme is that Sen. Dance has been ineffective and voted too often with Republicans and that he would be a stronger supporter of Democratic positions. Delegate Preston has the support of Henry L. Marsh III, a civil rights attorney who held the Senate seat for nearly 24 years before stepping down last summer.

Gov. McAuliffe and a majority of elected Democrats have lined up behind Sen. Dance, including the chairman of the Senate Democratic Caucus, Henrico Sen. A. Donald McEachin. Sen. Dance also has won three recent elections against Democratic and independent opponents who attacked her for being too cozy with the GOP.

The winner is likely to face former Delegate Joseph D. “Joe” Morrissey, who has announced he will run as an independent in November’s general election after failing to make the primary ballot. The district stretches from Church Hill in Richmond to Petersburg and includes parts of Hopewell and of the counties of Chesterfield, Dinwiddie and Prince George.

House District 69: Incumbent Delegate Betsy B. Carr is facing Richmond businessman Preston T. Brown, who is making another long-shot attempt to gain public office. Delegate Carr is the favorite to win re-election.

House District 69

The primary appears to be tantamount to election. So far, no Republican or independent has filed to run in November, so the winner of the Democratic contest is likely to have no opposition in the general election. The district includes most of South Richmond and a small part of Chesterfield County.

House District 74: Three Democrats are vying for the party’s nod in a district that includes a sliver of north Richmond, part of Central and Eastern Henrico County and all of Charles City County. The candidates are Stephen R. Adkins, Lamont Bagby and Leonidas B. Young II.

House District 74

The contest is primarily between Mr. Bagby and Mr. Young.

Mr. Bagby, a veteran Henrico County School Board member, has gained virtually all of the endorsements of elected Democrats at the state and local level. He also is receiving the support of the Henrico Education Association and other organizations.

Mr. Young, a minister and former Richmond mayor, is seeking to become the first felon whose rights have been restored to become a member of the General Assembly. He has the backing of Mr. Morrissey, who gave up the House seat when he moved out of the district in the spring to run for the Senate District 16 seat.

Mr. Adkins, chief of the Chickahominy Indian tribe, appears to be doing little campaigning after putting his name on the ballot.

The winner would face David Lambert, son of the late former Sen. Benjamin J. Lambert III, who is running as an independent.

House District 63: The Petersburg area contest essentially involves replacing outgoing Delegate Preston. The contest features the following candidates: Lashrecse D. Aird, Larry D. Brown Sr., W.H. “Mouse” Jones Jr., Atiba H. Muse and Gerry J. Rawlinson. The winner of the primary appears likely to be unchallenged in November.

House District 63

Ms. Aird, a protégé of Sen. Dance, and Ms. Rawlinson, a businesswoman, are considered to be the front-runners in a race where all of the candidates are promoting themselves as the most capable to hold the seat. Mr. Muse, a member of the Petersburg School Board, has had little money to get his message out. Mr. Brown, a Dinwiddie minister, and Mr. Jones, a businessman, previously fell short in the race for the seat that Delegate Preston won.
