A blue and white envelope containing a vote by mail ballot. — Will you be voting by mail in the Nov. 3 election? Do you have a "voting plan," as the Secretary of State recommends? This hour, "Vermont Edition" looks at how Vermonters will vote, by mail or otherwise, come November.

Vermont's new vote-by-mail system for the Nov. 3 election means every active registered voter will be sent a ballot in the mail by Oct. 1. Voters can mail back their completed ballot, drop it off at the clerk's office or bring it with them to the polls on Election Day. This hour, we talk through how the mail-in voting system will work and the various ways Vermonters will be voting come November.

Our guests are:

Jim Condos, Vermont's Secretary of State
John Odum, Montpelier town clerk
