Any person may register to vote in the town of his or her residence who, on Election Day:

• is a citizen of the United States;
• is a resident of the state of Vermont (and a resident of the town in which you apply to be added to the checklist);
• has taken, or has previously taken, the Voter’s Oath (formerly called the “Freeman’s Oath”); and
• is 18 years of age or older.

Any person meeting the requirements above who will be 18 on or before the date of a general election may register and vote in the primary election immediately preceding that general election. See 17 V.S.A. § 2121.

For purposes of voter registration, the Vermont Statutes define residency as follows:

“Resident” shall mean a person who is domiciled in the town as evidenced by an intent to maintain a principal dwelling place in the town indefinitely and to return there if temporarily absent, coupled with an act or acts consistent with that intent. 17 V.S.A. § 2122(b).

Any registered voter can request and track the status of an early/absentee ballot by visiting the Vermont’s Voter Portal.

You may also request an early/absentee ballot through a direct request to the Town Clerk via phone, email, mail, or in person during office hours.

All early voter absentee ballot requests must be submitted by 5 p.m. or by the close of the town clerk’s office on the day before the election.

All ballots must be returned to the town clerk’s office before the close of the office on the day before the election, or to the polling place before 7 p.m. on the day of the election, in order to be counted.
