Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to register before Election Day?
No. Vermont has same-day voter registration: you can register on any day up to and including Election Day, even at your polling place (Vermont Secretary of State). You can also register or update your registration at mvp.vermont.gov.
What do I need to bring to register at the polls?
To register at the polls on Election Day, you need to provide your name, date of birth, and a Vermont residence address. You will sign an oath affirming your identity and eligibility. You do not need a photo ID to register.

How do I vote by mail?
Mark your ballot, follow the instructions that come with it, and return it in the 24/7 drop box at City Hall (180 Market Street) or at your polling place. It must arrive by 7:00 PM on Election Day, so it's now too late to put it in the mail (Vermont Secretary of State; City of South Burlington).
