Vermont has made the election process easier and more accessible for its residents. The state offers same-day voter registration and universal mail-in voting, among other ways, for registered voters to participate in elections.
A democracy only works properly if its citizens participate. For many people, political participation takes the form of casting a ballot. Learn who can vote, where to vote, how to register, and more in this Vermont voting guide.
Am I eligible to vote in Vermont?
You are eligible to register to vote in Vermont if you:
- Are a citizen of the United States of America
- Are a resident of the state of Vermont

It is worth noting that Vermont is one of a few states that allows felons to vote, even if they are current serving out a sentence in prison. Felons simply have to register with their last residential address to be added to the voter list.
