A statewide Primary Election will be held on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.
Polling Location and Hours

Voter Registration
There is no deadline to register to vote in Vermont; you may register at the polls on Election Day. However, residents are encouraged to register early by visiting the Town Clerk’s office or going online to the Vermont Voter Portal: https://vote.vermont.gov.
Primary Election Party Choice
Because Vermont does not have voter registration by political party, all voters will be handed three separate ballots: Democratic, Progressive, and Republican.
-
You do not have to declare your party choice to election officials.
-
You may only vote for candidates on one (1) of the party ballots.
-
The other two (2) unvoted ballots must be handed to the election official to place in the unvoted ballot bin.
Early and Absentee Voting
Please note that the Secretary of State’s Office will not be automatically mailing ballots to all active voters for this primary election. Ballots are available now, and voters must request one if they wish to vote early.
The absolute deadline to request an early/absentee ballot for this election is Monday, August 10, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.
