Voting in Vermont

To register to vote in Vermont, you must:
- Be a U.S. citizen
- Be a resident of Vermont (and a resident of the town in which you apply to be added to the checklist)
- Be at least 18 years old (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)
- Have taken, or have previously taken, the Voter’s Oath (formerly called the “Freeman’s Oath”)

You must register to vote by the Friday before the election you wish to vote in if you are registering online, or you can register on Election Day (see more under “Election Day Registration”).

If you’re eligible to vote in Vermont but have not yet registered, you can register and vote at your polling place on Election Day. You can also register at your town or city clerk's office on days preceding the election during regular business hours and on Election Day during polling hours.

You can pre-register to vote in Vermont if you will turn 18 by the next election.

Vermont doesn’t revoke voting rights after a felony conviction. If you have been convicted of a felony, you can vote while incarcerated. You must register using your last place of residence.
