West Danville, Vermont Public Records

Vermont allows same-day voter registration, enabling eligible residents to register and vote on Election Day at their polling place. Voters must be U.S. Citizens, Vermont residents, and at least 18 years old by the election date. No photo ID is required to vote in the state, though first-time voters who registered by mail may need to provide identification. The village participates in Danville's annual Town Meeting, a direct democracy tradition held on the first Tuesday in March. At Town Meeting, voters elect town officers including selectboard members, school board members, listers, and other municipal positions, and vote on the town budget and local policy questions. The community does not have a mayor or city council; instead, a three-member selectboard is the executive authority, elected to staggered three-year terms. The next Danville Town Meeting election is March 2, 2027. State and federal elections are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in even-numbered years. Polling places for local voters are at Danville Town Hall, 77 Brainerd Street, Danville, VT 05828. Voters can verify their specific polling location and check their registration status at https://mvp.vermont.gov (My Voter Page). Local races may include Danville selectboard positions if terms are expiring. Vermont offers early absentee voting for all elections.
