About 100 Stowe residents gathered for Town Meeting Day on Tuesday, March 7, 2023.

Vermonters will have 12 presidential candidates to consider in next year's primary when they gather on Town Meeting Day.

There are six Democratic candidates and six Republican primary contenders, including President Joe Biden and GOP front runner, former President Donald Trump. That's according to the Secretary of State's office.

The announcement comes on the heels of the momentous decision out of Colorado, where that state's supreme court ruled Tuesday that Donald Trump cannot appear on the Republican primary ballot. The court voted that Trump is no longer eligible to hold office because he engaged in insurrection ahead of the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol, according to the New York Times.

Primary ballots for a single party — Democrat or Republican — must be requested, as they will not be mailed directly to voters. Voters may ask for an absentee ballot, however.

Town Meeting Day will be held on March 5, 2024 — the same day as Super Tuesday, in which 14 other states also hold presidential primaries.
