VPIRG Votes

11/05/2024

Earlier today, voters across the state hit the polls with four core values in mind: choice, climate, economy, and democracy. Whether you voted in person or mailed your ballot in early, we hope you got the chance to make your voice heard on the issues that matter most in Vermont.

Reproductive freedom is at stake in this election, and not just in the race for president. There are candidates up and down the Vermont ballot who would restrict reproductive health care given the opportunity. Don't let them win. Instead, please support the VPIRG Votes candidates in your House and Senate district -- they all support reproductive freedom.

The right to abortion, as well as gender-affirming care, are very much in flux on a national scale. Vermont’s politics and policies lean toward protecting these medical services.

Vermont continues to lead the country in the percentage of voters who have already cast their ballots!

While the legislation to make universal vote-by-mail ballots an option for Vermonters passed with broad bipartisan support, the following senators and candidate for Senate voted against the bill:

Sen. Brian Collamore (R-Rutland)
Sen. Russ Ingalls (R-Essex)
Sen. Robert Norris (R-Franklin)
Rep. Pat Brennan (R-Colchester)
