Elections: Political Party Organization

PARTY ORGANIZATION IN VERMONT.

In Vermont, political parties must reorganize in September of every odd-numbered year. Parties organize by electing members at town caucuses and then sending representatives to county committees. County committees then send representatives to the state committee meeting. (Minor parties are not required to hold county meetings.)

The parties organized in 2011-2012 will be in effect until the 2013 reorganization process is complete.
