Voter Registration

You can register to vote in two ways:

• Online: Visit the Vermont Secretary of State’s My Voter Page.
• By Paper: Fill out a voter registration form and return it to your town clerk.

If you move, change your name, or want to change your party, you can update your registration:

• Online: Go to mvp.vermont.gov.
• By Paper: Complete and submit a new voter registration form to your town clerk.

You can register to vote in Vermont if, on Election Day, you:

• Are a U.S. citizen,
• Are a resident of Vermont, and live in the town where you’re registering,
• Have taken the Voter’s Oath (formerly the Freeman’s Oath),
• Are 18 years old or will be 18 by the next general election.

If you will turn 18 by the date of a general election, you can also vote in the primary election before it. (17 V.S.A. § 2121)

There is no registration deadline in Vermont.  You can register to vote any time, even on Election Day.

If you are registering for the first time in Vermont by mail, include a copy of an acceptable ID with your form. Acceptable ID includes:

• A valid photo ID (driver’s license or passport),
• A current utility bill,
• A current bank statement, or
• Another government document.

If you are in the military or live overseas, your registration form must include:

• The Vermont town where you last lived in Vermont before joining the military or moving overseas, and
• The address or description of that residence.

If you never lived in Vermont before joining the military or moving overseas, you must register to vote in the state where you last lived.
