Call for Delivery

Vermonters who are sick or who have a disability can contact their town clerk and request home delivery of their ballots. This request must be made before 5 p.m. on the day before the election.The ballots will be delivered by two justices of the peace — when possible, from different parties. The voter can ask one of them for assistance filling out the ballot as long as both JPs are present. The officials will then return the ballot to the polling place so it can be counted.

  • Good Questions: An FAQ About Election Coverage in Seven Days

    In May, Seven Days was selected to participate in the Clarify Your Elections Coverage program through the nonprofit Trusting News. The organization tasked participating news outlets with providing answers to frequently asked questions about political stories. The idea was to improve transparency and help readers understand how reporters and editors approach their work Why require publications to follow this format? According to Trusting News, this presentation "offers users a casual, accessible way to learn more about how your newsroom covers elections and politics. FAQs tend to be more conversational and can help newsrooms address ... how they plan to cover races, politicians and voting. They can also help make election coverage feel less overwhelming by quickly pointing people to the basic information they need to participate in elections."
