Absentee and early voting for the General Election started on Friday.
Voters can request ballots before the election from their town clerk from now until the day before the election.
Jim Condos, the Secretary of State, says early voting is designed to make it easier for Vermonters who have scheduling conflicts to cast ballots well in advance of Nov. 4.
“Vermont law recognizes how busy its citizens are and that, while some will be able to take time off from work and personal obligations to vote on Election Day, others will not,” Condos said in a statement. “However, voting is a right that belongs to all of Vermont’s citizens, which is why, if you cannot make it to the polls, I strongly encourage you to exercise your constitutional right and vote early!”
The deadline for voter registration is Wednesday, Oct. 29. Voters who have moved to another town need to reregister.
The polls will be open for the General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 4 between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. at polling stations in Vermont.
