Vermonters are gearing up to cast their primary ballots on Tuesday, with a focus on high-interest races lower down on the ballot. While there are fewer competitive statewide races this cycle, there are still plenty of hotly contested races at the local level.
One of the key questions voters may have is whether they can vote in the primary on election day if they are not registered. The answer is yes – all U.S. citizens who will be 18 or older on Nov. 5 are eligible to vote in the primary and can register at their local polling place. Unlike in some other states, Vermont voters can choose any ballot without party registration.
Some of the major races to watch include competitive primaries for spot number two in the Lieutenant Governor race, a challenge to Rep. Emilie Kornheiser, and the Democratic nominee for governor who will face Republican incumbent Phil Scott in November.
With the primaries set to define the general election dynamics in various districts, Vermonters are encouraged to stay informed and participate in the voting process. Check back for election results tomorrow evening to see who will be moving forward to the general election in November.
