MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – Less than two weeks remain until Vermont’s primary election on Aug. 13.
Some 8,000 Vermonters have already sent in their absentee or mail-in ballots.
Those won’t be automatically sent; you must request them. If you do, you will receive ballots for all three parties. You vote on only one party ballot but must return all three.
To avoid delays in the mail, officials suggest dropping them off in person at the town clerk’s office.
“Voters should have a voting plan. At this point, we want folks to be thinking about, am I going to go in and vote early in my town clerk’s office? Am I going to request a ballot be mailed to my home? If you’re going to do that, you should be doing that right away,” said Sarah Copeland Hanzas, D-Vt. Secretary of State.
