Virginia allows a "Non-Primary method" of selecting a candidate.

From the VA Dept. of Elections:

*Political Parties may choose to nominate their candidates using a method other than a primary (e.g. convention, caucus, mass meeting, etc.)". (link downloads the pdf).

A Republican Convention was held on 06/13/2020 and Mr. Good was selected to represent the party in the General Election and advances automatically to the November ballot.
