Eligible Vermonters can register to vote online , through the mail and in-person at the clerk's office in the town in which they live or at polling stations on an Election Day, according to the Vermont Secretary of State's Office. Qualified residents can register to vote any day of the year, including Election Day.

How to vote in Vermont

General election ballots are automatically mailed to all active registered voters in Vermont, thanks to the passage of Act 60 by the state Legislature in 2021. Ballots should arrive by mid-October.

Vermonters who wish to vote in-person but did not bring their ballots with them must first sign a "No Ballot Cast" affidavit promising not to vote more than once.

Voters can track their ballot — such as when it will arrive in your mailbox and, after mailing it back, whether the ballot has reached the clerk's office — by visiting the My Voter Page on the Vermont Secretary of State's website.

If you plan to mail-in or drop off your early or absentee ballot, your local polling station must receive it before 7 p.m. on election day.

Ballot drop box locations for 2024 can be found in the voter resources tab on the Vermont secretary of state webpage at https://sos.vermont.gov/elections/voters/ .

In Vermont, all polls open between 6-10 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Only first-time voters who registered by mail or online must show their ID to vote in Vermont. Voters who registered when they renewed their driver's license or during a voter registration drive are not required to bring their ID.

Visit the Vermont secretary of state website or contact your town or city clerk to find your local polling place , check on your registration status or verify your voter mailing address.

For Burlington voters in Ward 2, your polling location has temporarily changed from the Integrated Arts Academy to the O.N.E Community Center.
