Vermont Governor Phil Scott and Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas are gearing up for the upcoming election by highlighting the voting process and security preparations. Copeland Hanzas emphasized the importance of having a voting plan and recommended hand-delivering ballots to clerk’s offices due to potential mail delays. She also addressed concerns about disruptions and the importance of respecting election workers. Governor Scott assured Vermonters that the election systems are secure and his administration is prepared for any potential disruptions. Despite no specific threats targeting Vermont’s election system, preparations are in place to ensure a smooth voting process. In Vermont, mail-in ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day. The state is set to elect a U.S. Senator, at-large U.S. Representative, state Constitutional officers, and state House and Senate seats in addition to the presidential election. Both Governor Scott and Secretary of State Copeland Hanzas encourage all Vermonters to vote as it is essential to democracy. Let’s hope for a safe and successful election in Vermont.
