A Vermont Four-Year Terms for State Constitutional Officers Amendment was on the March 4, 1974 ballot in Vermont as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment, where it was defeated.

The proposed amendment would have made the Vermont Attorney General a constitutional officer. Other changes would have included:

  • Changing two-year terms for constitutional officers to four-year terms;
  • Modernizing the canvassing of votes for constitutional officers;
  • Providing for a runoff election in the event no candidate receives a majority of the votes;
  • Authorizing the Supreme Court to incorporate, rearrange, and renumber amended sections into the present constitution; and
  • Eliminating the office of Secretary of Civil and Military Affairs.
