Vermont elections, 2006

The Vermont Election in 2006 consisted of elections for federal, state, and local elections. All state offices were for two years; all terms expired in 2006. Elections included the gubernatorial, all state offices, including all state senators and representatives, the federal Congress and the US senate.

A primary election in August determined which candidates parties would choose to run in the general election in November.

Local elections occurred during the town meeting in March.

Auditor of Accounts

In 2006, a close general election for Auditor of Accounts prompted a recount which overturned the original count. This was one of two state results overturned anywhere in the nation from 1980 through 2006. It was the seventh recount in Vermont's history and the only one that overturned an original count.[1]
