Lamoille County typically leans moderate with competitive races. On November 3, 2026, Eden Mills and Lamoille County voters will decide several important races: Vermont's gubernatorial election (Governor Phil Scott's term expires in 2026; he has not yet announced re-election plans), Vermont's constitutional offices (Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Auditor), all 150 seats in the Vermont House of Representatives including the Lamoille-Washington-1 district seat representing Eden, one of 30 Vermont Senate seats for the Lamoille County district, and potentially Lamoille County offices depending on the cycle.
