What to know before you head to the polls on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
When is Election Day?
Vermont’s 2026 general election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. This is the statewide election that will decide the Grand Isle County State’s Attorney race, along with other county, state, and federal offices.
What time do polls open and close?
Polling places close at 7:00 p.m. statewide. Opening times vary by town — Vermont law allows towns to open polls anywhere between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Check with your town clerk or the Vermont Voter Portal for your specific polling place’s hours.
Where do I vote?
Log in to the Vermont Voter Portal and use the polling place lookup tool to find your assigned location. In most small towns — including the towns of Grand Isle County — there’s a single polling place, often the town clerk’s office, town hall, or a local school.
See our Grand Isle County Voter Guide for links to each town’s clerk and polling location.
Do I need to bring ID?
Vermont does not require photo ID to vote in person. If you’re already registered, you simply state your name to the election officials, who will check you off the checklist. (Photo ID or another form of documentation is only required if you’re registering to vote online or by mail for the very first time — not to vote at the polls.)
Can I register and vote on the same day?
Yes. Vermont allows same-day registration, including at the polls on Election Day itself. If you’re not on the checklist when you arrive, election officials can register you on the spot, provided you meet the eligibility requirements. See our full voter registration guide for details.
What if I have an absentee ballot but want to vote in person instead?
You can still vote in person. Bring your unvoted absentee ballot with you to surrender at the polls, if you have it. If you don’t have it with you, tell the election officials — they’ll check whether your absentee ballot has already been returned before allowing you to vote in person, to make sure only one ballot per voter is counted.
What’s on the ballot in Grand Isle County?
Alongside statewide and federal races, Grand Isle County voters will decide the county’s State’s Attorney race. Learn what the State’s Attorney actually does, and meet Josh Martin, an independent candidate for the office.
Not registered yet?
Vermont’s same-day registration means it’s not too late — but it’s easier to handle before Election Day.
