For the 2024 election, Vermont Public is committed to providing Vermonters with what you need to make informed decisions at the ballot box. We’re focused on the stakes of the election, and that starts by putting people – not preconceived ideas – at the center of our reporting process. We’re taking our cues from you. What do you want the candidates to be discussing as they compete for your votes? What issues do you care about? What questions about voting do you have?
