Everything you need to know to vote in Vermont!
Voting By Early or Absentee
Ballot
Please contact your
town clerk for more information.
Vote at Home on Election Day
If you are sick or disabled a ballot can be
delivered to your home on Election Day. You may request an absentee ballot up until 5 p.m. on the day before the election.
Two justices of the peace (of
different parties) will deliver a ballot to you, and then will bring the ballot
back to the polling place so that it can be placed in the ballot box and
counted (on Election Day or the 8 days preceding the election).
·
Vote By Mail
Any voter can request that the town clerk mail them an early voter
absentee ballot. This ballot will arrive with a return envelope so that the
ballot, once voted, can be returned to the clerk so that it can be counted on
Election Day. The clerk must receive the ballot by the close of polls on
Election Day in order to be counted. A ballot can be requested any
time before an election. Clerks will mail absentee ballots within the 45 days prior to the election.
·
Hand
Delivered Ballots
A voter may pick up a ballot at the town clerk’s office at any time
beginning forty-five days prior to the general or primary election. A voted early
voter absentee ballot, in a sealed envelope, can be hand delivered to the clerk
on Election Day or prior to Election Day. The ballot can be returned to the
clerk or delivered to the polling place by the voter or any person the voter
authorizes to return the ballot for him or her. A person can only pick up his
or her own ballot from the clerk’s office.
·
Vote Early
A voter may vote at the Town Clerk’s office in person any time forty-five
days before a primary or general election or 20 days before a municipal
election.

office on the day before the election OR to the polling place before 7:00 p.m.
on the day of the election in order to be counted in the election.
