The 2024 Vermont Senate election will take place on November 5, 2024, as part of the biennial United States elections. The election will coincide with elections for other offices including the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor, and State House. Vermont voters will elect all 30 state senators from 16 districts, with each district electing between one and three senators. Districts that elect more than one senator use plurality block voting; in districts that elect two senators, each voter can select up to two candidates on their ballot, and in districts that elect three senators, voters can select up to three candidates. State senators serve two-year terms in the Vermont Senate. Under Vermont's electoral fusion system, candidates ran receive the nomination of more than one party, with all their nominations being listed on the ballot. Primary elections will be held on August 13, 2024.[1]
Democrats and Progressives currently hold a 23-seat supermajority in the senate. In order to gain control, Republicans would either need to flip 9 seats in the senate or flip 8 seats and the office of lieutenant governor, which presides over the senate and acts as the tiebreaking vote. However, Republicans would only need to flip 4 seats to break the Democrats' supermajority.
