Where to Find VTDigger's Vermont Election Coverage and Voter Guide
VTDigger's dedicated election resource is its 2026 Vermont general election guide, launched September 15, 2026. According to the site's own description, the guide lets you explore the candidates and races on Vermont's Nov. 3 ballot, examine campaign finance data, and find what you need to cast your vote. It is the most direct starting point for election-specific information on vtdigger.org.
What the election guide covers
Based on VTDigger's description of the guide, it is organized around three practical tasks:
- Candidates and races — browsing who is running and for which offices on the November 3 ballot.
- Campaign finance data — examining the money behind the campaigns.
- Voting information — the practical details needed to cast a ballot.
The guide sits under VTDigger's Government & Politics coverage area, which is also where the newsroom files its day-to-day political reporting.
Finding election stories outside the guide
Election-related reporting also appears in VTDigger's regular news flow, not just in the guide. The homepage organizes stories by topic tags, and Government & Politics is the relevant one for campaigns, candidates, and policy positions. Recent examples visible on the site include:
| Story | Topic tag | Reporter |
|---|---|---|
| Rural Vermont Rising demands to be heard — now and in the future | Government & Politics | Theo Wells-Spackman |
| Advocates for public buses say Vermont needs new systems for raising funds | Burlington | Carly Berlin |
| VTDigger launches 2026 Vermont general election guide | Government & Politics | VTD Editor |
Stories carry both a publication timestamp and an update timestamp, so a piece you read early may be revised later the same day.
Staying current as the election approaches
VTDigger publishes a free newsletter, Daily Digger, described on the site as delivered every Monday–Saturday morning. The site states that over 30,000 people rely on it. Signing up requires submitting a name and email address through a form on the homepage.
For readers who want to follow along between newsletters, the site's "Follow along" section and its Editors' Picks collection surface recommended stories, investigations, and podcasts — a useful way to catch election coverage you might otherwise miss.
What to keep in mind
- The guide is tied to a specific election date (Nov. 3, 2026), so its candidate and race listings reflect that ballot rather than a rolling archive.
- Campaign finance data in the guide is presented as something you examine directly, not as summarized conclusions.
- VTDigger describes itself as member-supported journalism; the site does not state in the material reviewed here whether any election content sits behind a login or payment requirement, so treat access as something to check when you arrive.
