2026 Vermont Elections FAQ

When is the 2026 Vermont primary election?
The 2026 Vermont primary election is on Aug 11, 2026.
When is the 2026 Vermont general election?
The 2026 Vermont general election is on Nov 3, 2026.
What races are on the ballot in Vermont in 2026?
Vermont's November 3, 2026 ballot includes the governor's race, the at-large US House seat, and the full statewide executive slate, including lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer, and auditor, all elected to two-year terms. All 30 state Senate and 150 state House seats are also up, along with county offices. No US Senate seat is on the ballot; the next Senate race is in 2028.
How does Vermont's primary work?
Vermont does not register voters by party. In the state's open primary, scheduled for August 11, 2026, any registered voter may choose one party's ballot at the polls and vote in that party's primary. The leading vote-getter in each primary wins the nomination outright, with no runoff, and advances to the November 3 general election.
Why is the 2026 Vermont Governor race important?
Vermont elects its governor every two years, and the 2026 race tests how long Republican Phil Scott can keep winning statewide in one of the country's most Democratic-leaning states. Scott filed in May 2026 for a sixth term, and the outcome shapes vetoes and budget negotiations with a Democratic-led legislature, making it the contest prediction markets watch most closely in Vermont.
