To vote in Vermont, you must be:

  • At least 18 years of age on Election Day,
  • A US citizen, and
  • A resident of Vermont and the town in which you are applying for registration.

Military members and overseas voters whose last residence was in Vermont maintain their eligibility.

If you are registering to vote for the first time in Vermont online or by mail, you must include a photocopy of an acceptable form of ID. Acceptable forms of ID include: 

  • Valid photo ID (driver’s license or passport) OR
  • Current utility bill OR
  • Current bank statement OR
  • Another government document

No photocopy of ID is required when a person registers through a state agency or through a voter registration drive.

The voter registration form requires your Vermont DMV-issued driver's license number or Personal ID number (VT PID#) or the last four digits of your Social Security number (SSN).
