The Vermont Primary is August 26

The Vermont primary is an open primary so any registered voter may vote in any party's primary. Vermont does not have online voter registration. It does have early voting that begins 45 days prior to the election.

Neither Senator from Vermont is up for reelection this year. The one Congressional representative, Peter Welch (D), is running unopposed in the Democratic primary. There are two candidates for the seat in the Republican primary.

The current Governor, Peter Shumlin (D), has a Democratic challenger in the primary, H. Brooke Paige, who appears to have also filed to run for Attorney General. It is unclear if she will be on the ballot for both positions. https://www.sec.state.vt.us/elections.aspx There are 3 Republican candidates for governor on the primary ballot.

In the Vermont legislature, Democrats currently hold 21 of the 30 senate seats and 96 of the 145 representative seats.

There are no ballot measures on either the primary or general election ballots.
