All of Vermont’s mail-in ballots for the 2020 general election have been shipped, according to the Secretary of State’s office. It’s the first time all registered active voters in the state have been automatically mailed a ballot, a precaution aimed at reducing the spread of Covid-19 at polling places.
In our new 90-second video, VTDigger staff members demonstrate how Vermonters can cast their ballots this year.
Vermonters can still vote in person on Nov. 3. But starting now, voters can also return completed ballots by mail, or drop them off with their town clerk. The Secretary of State’s office recommends mailing ballots back by Oct. 24, or returning them to town clerks before Election Day.
Completed ballots can also be returned to the polling place before 7 p.m. on Election Day in order to be counted.
Voters can check their registration status, track their mail-in ballot, or find their polling place using the Secretary of State’s My Voter Page tool. Vermont also allows same-day voter registration, meaning eligible voters can sign up at their polling place on Election Day.
