While many Republican governors have signed bills implementing new regulations on mail-in and absentee voting, Vermont’s GOP governor wants to conduct his state’s elections entirely by mail.
Gov. Phil Scott (R) signed legislation last June that requires local election clerks to mail ballots to all active, registered voters ahead of the biannual statewide elections. On Friday he signed another bill into law that allows municipal governments to pass budgets with preprinted ballots for their annual town meetings. The Eagle Times reported that the bill allows municipalities to hold informational meetings about budgets remotely, a consideration made for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
