How to Vote 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”).

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.

If you have a past conviction, learn more about your eligibility to vote here.

ID is not required to vote in Vermont. If you are a first-time voter who registered by mail you will have to show ID to vote. Valid forms of ID include:
- Current and valid photo identification or bank statement
- Utility bill
- Government document that contains your name/current address.

If you go to your polling place without an approved form of ID, you can register to vote at your polling place.
