The Vermont Secretary of State election took place on November 4, 2014. Incumbent Jim Condos (D) was first elected in 2010 and was seeking re-election in 2014. He won another four-year term by defeating Vermont Progressive Party candidate Ben Eastwood and Liberty Union Party candidate Mary Alice Hebert in the general election.

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Vermont utilizes an open primary system, in which registered voters do not have to be members of a party to vote in that party's primary.[1][2]
