Town Meeting TV is your election connection for Town Meeting Day 2024.

Tuesday, March 5th is Town Meeting Day. You will have the opportunity to vote on your city or town’s candidates and issues, as well as Vermont’s presidential primary.

Before you vote: learn about what’s on your ballot directly from your community’s decision makers by watching our candidate forums- as well as forums on municipal budgets, school budgets, and other questions you'll see on your ballot.

Polls are open from 7am to 7pm, or you can vote early at your Town Clerk’s office or by mail.

Remember: In Vermont, you can register to vote on election day at your polling location!

After all the ballots have been cast, be sure to tune into Town Meeting TV on election night, March 5th at 7pm, for our live results show, featuring interviews with voters at the polls, timely election results, and conversations with newly elected representatives.

You can watch Town Meeting TVs’ election coverage on Comcast 1087, Burlington Telecom Channel 17 and 217 and on YouTube at YouTube.com/TownMeetingTV.
