Vermont’s primary election is Aug. 13 .
There are two ways to vote:
Early voting by mail or in person, from June 29 to Aug. 12
In person at your polling place on Aug. 13
All U.S. citizens who are residents of Vermont and will be 18 or older for the general election on Nov. 5, 2024, are eligible to register to vote in the primary election.
Voter registration
To vote in the primary, you must be registered to vote in Vermont, though you may still register on the day of the election.
If you’re not registered, there are multiple ways to do so:
In person at your polling place. You may register at your polling place on the day of the election (Aug. 13) .
You may also register online or by mail using a paper registration form, both available via the Secretary of State’s Office website , but be sure to leave several days for your registration to be processed if you are using these methods.
According to the Secretary of State’s Office, first-time registrants will be required to submit a photocopy of a valid form of ID. Acceptable documents include:
Valid photo ID (driver’s license or passport)
Current utility bill
Current bank statement
Another government document
First-time Vermont voters must also take the voter’s oath, a short statement one may recite to oneself.
Early voting
Early voting is available from June 29 to Aug. 12. There are multiple ways to request and submit your ballot.
Early ballots must be received at your town clerk’s office by close of business on Aug. 12. If you’re mailing your ballot, send it by Aug. 5 to allow a week for delivery.
For the primary, you will be offered a ballot from each of the major parties: Democratic, Republican and Progressive. You must pick one ballot to complete. However, all three ballots — including the two blank ones — must be returned in the envelope provided.
