Election Season is Here!!!
On Tuesday, August 11th 2020, Vermont will hold our primary election. In years past, our congregations have hosted a series of events across the state in order to hear from candidates about the issues you, our leaders and clergy, are most concerned about. Due to the times we find ourselves in this year, instead of in person gatherings, we have invited the gubernatorial candidates to fill out a questionnaire and join us for a 20 minute conversation about their answers.
To read their answers and/or watch their interviews, check out this page!
VOTER REGISTRATION: If you have moved since the last time you voted, will be 18 by August 11th or for any other reason need to register to vote, please do so here. You can also register on election day at your polling location. Remember you vote is your voice!
EARLY VOTING/ABSENTEE BALLOT: Early voting is open and if you haven't done so already, you can request your early voter absentee ballot by visiting the Secretary of State's website or by calling your local Town Clerk's office. Requests for an early voter absentee ballot can be made at any time until 5 p.m., or by the time of closing of the town clerk's office on the last day that the clerk has regular hours before the election. The request can be made at the same time the person registers to vote.
POLLING LOCATIONS: Most polling sites across the state will also have the option for a socially distancing in person voting. Click here, to see your polling location and times. Remember that all polls close at 7:00PM.
Multiple positions open across the state!
Are you concerned about issues in your community? Do you enjoy building relationships? Are you an independent worker who also knows how to lead others?
If you answered yes to any of these and are looking for part-time work with flexible hours, then we may have a position for you on the VIA team.
