In accordance with its bylaws, Vermont-NEA conducts an annual election for members to elect officers, area board directors, and delegates to the NEA Representative Assembly. To be included on the ballot, an active member must submit a Candidate Petition form by the published deadline. The number of member signatures required is indicated by position on the petition.
The 2026 Vermont-NEA Annual Election will run from April 13, 2026 at 12:01 a.m. - April 26, 2026 at 11:59 p.m.
Prior to the opening of the election, all members will be mailed a print notice with unique access credentials and instructions describing how to vote online during the election period.

If we do not have a personal email address on file for you, a paper ballot will be mailed to your home address.
