Election Results


See below for results of the 2024 General Election (including recounts), 2024 General Election Audit, and previous elections and audits. Please note that while results for the lieutenant governor race are included, and the candidate with the greatest number of votes is denoted as the winner, the Vermont Constitution requires that candidates for lieutenant governor receive a majority of the votes in order to be elected. Because no candidate received the required number of votes, the election of the lieutenant governor for the ensuing two years will be decided at a meeting of the Joint Canvassing Committee in early January.

 

2024 General Election Results (Official)
2024 General Election Audit Results

Following every General Election, the Secretary of State's office conducts an audit of the complete results from a random selection of towns and cities. This year’s audit covered seven towns, all of which use a tabulator to count their votes, except Canaan, which counts its votes by hand. The audit revealed no significant discrepancies.

When reading the comparison reports below, please consider that differences in write-in totals are most commonly due to the auditing machines counting all write-ins while the town clerks and boards of civil authority followed the law of moving fictional characters and slogans into the blank column. The day-long public audit process examined results closely and confirmed the Official Return of Votes were more in line with legal guidance for reporting write-ins.
