Primary Election Day is Tuesday. Here’s what you need to know to cast your vote.

Primary Election Day is Tuesday, March 5.

Polling places will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Election Day. Any voter in line at their assigned polling place at 7:30 p.m. will be able to vote.

There are several races on the ballot for the primary election from the presidential race all the way down to school board, county commission and city council.

On Election day, voters must go to their assigned precinct to cast their vote. To check your registration and your precinct location, visit vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/

REMEMBER! All voters must show a form of valid ID to cast their vote this year. Here are examples of valid IDs:

Voters can also request assistance at their polling place. Curbside voting is available for voters who are unable to enter the voting place without assistance due to age or disability. Once inside the polling place, voters who experience difficulties should request help from an election worker.

Lastly, the easiest way to figure out who to vote for is to find your sample ballot online. 

1. Visit vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/
2. Enter your name
3. Scroll down to “sample ballot”
4. And find all of the races that you’ll need to know about.
