Election data show 311,510 people cast ballots in last week’s midterm election, a new high for a midterm contest in the state.
Vermont completed the final step of certifying its election results Tuesday, when representatives from the state’s three major political parties reviewed and signed off on the statewide and federal tallies.
The certified results cover the races for governor, lieutenant governor, Congress, treasurer, attorney general, auditor and the two statewide constitutional amendments. Vermont’s newly elected officials are set to take office in January.
Election data show 311,510 people cast ballots in last week’s midterm election, a new high for a midterm contest in the state. That total tops the 2022 midterm, when about 290,000 voters participated. More than 62% of voters submitted their ballots by mail.
Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas said the numbers reflect a strong sign of civic engagement and a positive outcome for democratic participation.
