Elections for the Vermont State Senate took place in 2024. The general election was on November 5, 2024. The primary was August 13, 2024. The filing deadline was May 30, 2024.
Following the election, Democrats lost a Senate veto-proof majority but maintained a 16-13-1 majority. The state remained a divided government, with a Republican controlling the governorship and Democrats holding majorities in both chambers of the state legislature. When combined with Democratic losses in the Vermont House of Representatives, Democrats lost more seats in the Vermont state legislature than any other legislature in the country in 2024.[1]
All 30 seats were up for election. Democrats held 21 seats, and Republicans held seven.
Before the election, Vermont was one of 29 states where one party had a large enough majority in both legislative chambers to override gubernatorial vetoes without needing support from members of the other party. Democrats lost their veto-proof majority because they fell below the required 20 Senate seats.
This election also determined Vermont's trifecta status. Before the election, Vermont was one of 10 states without a state government trifecta because the governor was a Republican and Democrats had majorities in both chambers of the state legislature. Because Republicans held the governorship and Democrats held their majorities in both legislative chambers, Vermont maintained its divided government.

Since his election in 2016, Gov. Phil Scott (R) had, as of the 2024 elections, vetoed 52 bills, more than any other governor in state history, according to Seven Days.[2] The majority-Democratic legislature had overridden six vetoes in 2024, surpassing the previous record of five vetoes set in 2023. The legislature's 2024 overrides included vetoes of bills requiring state utilities to provide energy from renewable sources only by 2035, prohibiting the sale of seeds treated with certain pesticides, and increasing property taxes.[3]
Scott actively campaigned with Republican challengers in person and asked voters through television and radio ads to “elect more common-sense legislators who will work with me to make Vermont more affordable.” Jason Maulucci, Scott's policy director, told The New York Times that the governor's "endorsements of lesser-known Republicans provided a 'permission slip' for Trump-averse Democrats and independents inclined to vote for change, but wary of electing MAGA candidates."[1]
Ballotpedia identified four districts with a combined seven seats as battleground districts. Democrats and Republicans held three seats each in the battleground districts. The seventh seat was vacant at the time of the election. Three of the four battleground districts had at least one incumbent who did not run for re-election. Before the election, CNalysis rated four of the seats in battleground districts as favoring Democrats and three as favoring Republicans.[4] Click here for more on the battleground districts.
The Vermont State Senate was one of 85 state legislative chambers with elections in 2024. There are 99 chambers throughout the country.

There were 17 contested Democratic primaries and eight contested Republican primaries in 2024.

Reactions
The section below contains quotes from media and other sources with reactions to the general elections in Vermont, where Democrats lost more seats in the state legislature than in any legislature across the country.[1]
The New York Times' Jenna Russell wrote:[1]
| “ | To many rural voters, the state’s delicate balance of ideologies appeared to drift off kilter over the last few years, as legislative goals skewed further left and Mr. Scott found his authority limited by the Democrats’ supermajorities. Of the eight bills he vetoed between April and June — including a property tax increase that averaged 14 percent statewide, an expansion of the state’s restorative justice program and the creation of an “overdose prevention center” in Burlington — six were passed after legislators overrode his vetoes.
Many voters questioned why the Democrats, despite their unchecked power, could not come together to address the housing crisis, revamp school funding or curb tax increases, instead of undertaking efforts to ban vapes and force the board that sets rules for hunters to add members who don’t hunt.[7] |
” |
VT Digger's Neal Goswami wrote:[8]
| “ | Jim Dandeneau, executive director of the Vermont Democratic Party, said in an interview around 11:15 p.m. at the party’s election night gathering in South Burlington that the state GOP’s — and particularly Scott’s — messaging over property taxes proved to be more effective on the campaign trail than what he called Democrats’ ‘herculean work’ knocking on doors and engaging with voters on the ground.
Scott and the GOP, Dandeneau said, “overwhelmed people’s concerns about the future of our democracy with concerns about the future of their own pocketbooks.” “We were fighting this fight one person at a time, one household at a time,” he added, holding several boxes of uneaten finger foods from the party’s hors d'oeuvres spread as workers began to break down the event space. “He was blanketing the airwaves with his messaging about cutting taxes. That ended up being not great for us.”[7] |
” |
Lachlan Francis, a pollster and consultant, told The New York Times:[1]
| “ | Voters have been telling us for years that they’re sick of rising costs, rising rents, rising property taxes and grocery bills, and they feel like they can’t get ahead. They have felt that way for a long time, as the Legislature followed an agenda that was perceived as inflationary, and there was a price to pay for that.[7] | ” |
Legislative referrals
- See also: Legislative referral
A legislative referral, or legislatively referred ballot measure, is a ballot measure that appears on the ballot due to a vote of the state legislature. A legislative referral can be a constitutional amendment, state statute, or bond issue.
As of the 2024 election, a two-thirds (66.67%) vote was required in the Vermont State Senate and a simple majority vote was required in the Vermont House of Representatives in the first legislative session. A simple majority vote was required in both chambers in the second legislative session to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot. That amounted to a minimum of 20 votes in the Vermont State Senate and 76 votes in the Vermont House of Representatives in the first session and 16 votes in the state senate and 76 votes in the state house in the second session, assuming no vacancies. Amendments do not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.
At the time of the 2024 election, Democrats held a 21-7-1 majority in the Senate and a 107-37-6 majority in the House. Democrats needed to lose two Senate seats and 32 House seats to be no longer able to pass legislative referrals without Republican votes. Republicans needed to win 13 Senate seats and 39 House seats to have the same ability.

- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
