Vermont Election Results 2026: Voting has ended

Vermont does not require registered voters to show identification at the polls. The Secretary of State's Election Day FAQs say that in Vermont only first-time voters who registered by mail have to show ID in order to vote; voters who registered when renewing a driver's license or through a registration drive do not need to show ID. When registering, an applicant provides a valid Vermont driver's license, permit or non-driver ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number; someone with neither can still register by contacting their municipal clerk for assistance.

Any person may register to vote in the Vermont town where they live who, on Election Day, is a citizen of the United States, is a resident of Vermont and of the town in which they apply to be added to the checklist, has taken (or previously taken) the Voter's Oath, and is 18 years of age or more. First-time Vermont registrants must take the Voter's Oath. A person who will be 18 on or before the date of a general election may register and vote in the primary election immediately preceding it; otherwise a 17-year-old's registration becomes active on the day they turn 18. Vermont also has same-day voter registration at the polls.

A felony conviction does not take away the right to vote in Vermont, and people who are incarcerated keep the right to vote. The Secretary of State's Voter Registration FAQs answer the question 'I am an incarcerated felon. Can I vote in the state of Vermont?' with 'Yes', and direct the voter to register in the town or city where they resided before being incarcerated. Incarcerated voters vote by early/absentee ballot through that town clerk.
