This is Side Two
This page is the arena for this office, this cycle. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin.
It is not a campaign. It does not crown a winner. It does not tell you who to vote for. Names belong on the official sample ballot, and later in paid units on this URL — not as free text we would have to chase.
When
- Election Day: Tuesday, November 3, 2026
- Vermont held its primary 11 August 2026. Confirm leftover dates on the official election site.
- This office is two years. The next regular after 2026 is 2028.
This is a regular gubernatorial election. It is not a U.S. Senate race. Vermont has no 2026 Senate race.
Who is on the ballot
Do not take names from a news comment or a text thread.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Vermont Secretary of State — Elections
- Town sample ballot
- Current Governor of record (not the same thing as the 2026 nominee) — https://governor.vermont.gov/
- Registration — Vermont Secretary of State — Elections
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring
You are hiring the Governor of Vermont for the whole state — two years, one executive. Read the office page before you read a mailer. This is not a Senate seat, not a mayor, and not four years.
