Vermont residents can register to vote online at https://olvr.vermont.gov, the Vermont Secretary of State's Online Voter Registration system, which requires a valid Vermont driver's license or non-driver ID. Registration must be completed at least 18 days before an election, though Vermont also offers same-day voter registration at the polls. Identification requirements are minimal; the state accepts various forms of ID or allows voters to sign an affidavit confirming their identity. Each year on the first Tuesday in March, residents gather for the annual Town Meeting, a Vermont tradition where they vote on the municipal budget, elect local officers including selectboard members, and decide local ballot issues. Selectboard members serve staggered three-year terms. There is no mayor; governance is provided by the elected selectboard. Polling for residents typically takes place at the Town Hall at 19 South Street. Voters can confirm their polling location by contacting the Town Clerk or checking https://mvp.vermont.gov, the Vermont My Voter Page, which provides personalized voter information including polling place, sample ballot, and registration status. Vermont maintains extensive public access to election records. Voter checklists are public records available from town clerks, campaign finance reports are filed with and searchable through the Vermont Secretary of State's office at https://campaignfinance.vermont.gov, and election results by precinct are published by the Secretary of State at https://electionarchive.vermont.gov.
