In a press release on Friday, the office of Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas announced the availability of candidate information tailored for each of the state’s 283 voting districts.
However, due to a printing snafu, paper copies of the guides will not be mailed to voters as planned.
“The Secretary of State’s office originally planned to mail a printed copy of the Vermont Voter Guide to every active registered voting household in the state. After a printing vendor delay, it shifted to optimizing the online version,” the announcement explains.
This is the second General Election cycle that the Secretary of State’s office has compiled the guide information about the voting process, the offices on the ballot, and statements from and details about candidates.
Copeland Hanzas said she is disappointed that each household will not be getting a hard copy by mail. “I am, however, pleased that our office can provide digital access. A postcard has been mailed to every household with access information,” she said.

The change in plans for the information format, however, does not change her office’s “commitment to providing a standardized, non-partisan guide with information about everything that’s on your ballot, including the local candidates, so that Vermonters can make informed, confident choices when they cast their ballot,” she added.
The online information is designed to match a voter’s ballot with information from statewide, legislative, and county-level candidates and about the two constitutional amendments on the ballot.
Voter guide information is available online in two places. The details are the same in each location:
With an interactive map online here. Enter your street address to access your voting details and a link to the guide for your location.
On vote.vermont.gov, the Vermont Voter Portal website. Enter your name, town, etc. to log in and find voter guide details.
“When I talk to Vermonters who say they aren't voting, they tell me it's because they don't know the candidates or the issues on the ballot. Vermonters don't want to vote in ignorance. This Universal Voter Guide empowers people to vote,” explained Copeland Hanzas.
Offices on the ballot for the Nov. 3 General Election are: U.S. Representative to Congress, governor, lieutenant governor, treasurer, secretary of state, auditor of accounts, attorney general, all 30 state Senate seats, all 150 state House seats, probate judges, assistant judges, state's attorneys, sheriffs, high bailiffs, and justices of the peace. Two constitutional amendments are also on this year’s ballot.
General Election ballots have been mailed to all active registered voters. Any voter who has not yet received a ballot by mail should check in with their local town or city clerk. Voters also can track their ballot on the Vermont Voter Portal.
