Burlingtoners vote Tuesday on key state races

Vermonters go to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 3, for the 2026 general election. Residents will choose officials for statewide, legislative, and county-wide positions. The ballot also includes two proposed amendments to the state constitution, labeled Props 3 and 4.

The race for governor remains close. Incumbent Republican Phil Scott faces Democratic/Progressive challenger Amanda Janoo. A Vermont Public poll conducted in mid-September found Janoo, an economist, within 10 points of Scott. The report notes that Scott’s previous coalition is showing signs of strain.

Voters will also select the next lieutenant governor. Republican John Rodgers and Democrat Molly Gray have faced off in recent debates. Other statewide offices up for election include attorney general, secretary of state, state treasurer, and auditor.

Vermont’s single seat in the U.S. House of Representatives is contested. Incumbent Democrat Becca Balint, who represents Brattleboro, runs against Republican Gerald Malloy of Weathersfield and independent Adam Ortiz of Newport City. County ballots will feature candidates for state’s attorneys and sheriffs.

To vote, a person must be a U.S. citizen, a Vermont resident, and at least 18 years old by Election Day. Registration is open until Nov. 3. Individuals can sign up online, at a town clerk’s office, or at their polling place on election day.

The state provides a voter portal for residents to check their registration status and locate their specific polling place. An interactive candidate guide is available to help voters identify who appears on their local ballot.

Election night alerts and weekly summaries of coverage are available for those tracking results.
