Some important reminders to voters about the Presidential Primary. Unlike our State Primary in August , voters in a presidential primary must declare which ballot they want to vote. This does not oblige you to consider yourself a member of a party, but you will only be given one ballot to take to the voting booth. Sample ballots are posted outside polling places so you can see both ballots before you choose.

Both the Republican and Democratic ballots have space for a write-in selection. Only votes for actual persons are tallied and reported on Election Night in Vermont. Fictional names, Uncommitted or illegible entries in the write-in line will be considered blank ballots.

If you received a mailed ballot, please drop it in our drop box located at 205 South Street before 4:30 PM on March 4th or bring it to your polling place before 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 5th. in Vermont, we do not accept postmarks.

I hope to see you Tuesday!
