Voting from home gives voters time to research candidates and make more thoughtful and informed decisions. That's just one of the reasons why 68% of Vermonters support vote-by-mail - like Meaghan from Essex Junction. ⁠#VTPoli #VoteByMail youtu.be/4x4YsZZYudw
When voters receive their ballots at home, they’re able to research candidates and make more thoughtful decisions. That’s one reason why we’re calling for universally-mailed ballots to be made a permanent feature of VT elections. #vtvoterchoice #votebymail #vtpoli

Today is the 100th anniversary of Vermont’s ratification of the 19th amendment. While women’s legislative representation at the state level is high today, Vermont remains the only state in the union who has not sent a woman to Congress.
