On a November evening in 2026, Vermont's voters stood at the edge of a decision that the rest of the country would watch with half an eye: the contest for governor, where incumbent Republican Phil Scott faces Democrat Amanda Janoo, and the single at-large seat in the US House that the whole state fills together.

Vermont 2026 Midterms: Phil Scott and Amanda Janoo Face Off in the Governor's Race
Vermont has a governor's race but no Senate race this year.
Mark
So what is actually on the ballot in Vermont this November?
Mimi
Two things: the governor's race, Republican Phil Scott against Democrat Amanda Janoo, and the state's at-large US House seat.
Mark
At-large meaning what, in practice?
Mimi
Vermont has just one House seat, so every voter in the state is choosing for it. There's no district map involved.
Mark
And the Senate?
Mimi
Not this year. Vermont has no Senate race on the 2026 ballot.
Luke
Before we go further, I should say what this piece can't tell us. It's a live-blog preview. There are no results in it.
Mimi
Right. No vote counts, no calls, nothing about turnout.
Luke
And it doesn't name the House candidates, so we shouldn't pretend to know them from this source.
Mark
Why does the national framing matter, then?
Mimi
Because midterms land two years into a presidency, and each result feeds into the picture for Congress and the governors' map.
Luke
That's the outlet's framing, though. It's a general claim, not something shown by any Vermont numbers here. For outcomes, you'd go to the official state returns.
Le Pouls
- Vermont's voters choose between a governor's race pitting Phil Scott against Amanda Janoo and a statewide vote for the lone at-large House seat.
- With no Senate contest on the ballot, the entire state's attention narrows onto two offices, and every returned tally carries outsized weight.
- Election night is the moment of reckoning: the Times of India's live coverage is tracking early counts as the state moves toward a result.
- The outcome is still unsettled in this preview, so the true landing point awaits Vermont's official election returns.

Vermont voters head to the polls on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, with two races on the ballot: the governor's contest and the state's single at-large seat in the US House. There is no Senate race in the state this year.
The governor's race sets Republican Phil Scott against Democrat Amanda Janoo, the two main candidates named in the Times of India's live election-night coverage. The House seat belongs to the whole state, since Vermont has only one district, though the source does not name its candidates.
The vote lands at the midpoint of the current presidency, the usual point for a midterm, and the Times of India places Vermont's returns inside a larger national count that shapes Congress and the governors' map. The piece is a preview written on the evening of the vote, so it offers no tallies or called races. Those answers belong to Vermont's official election returns.
Vermont voters go to the polls on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, with two contests on their ballot: the race for governor and the state's single at-large seat in the US House of Representatives. There is no US Senate race in Vermont this year.
The governor's race pairs Republican Phil Scott with Democrat Amanda Janoo. Those are the two main candidates named in the Times of India's live coverage, which is built around the state's election night.
The House contest is for the at-large seat. Vermont has only one seat in the House, so the whole state votes on it. The source does not name the candidates for that seat, and this account does not supply them.
The date follows the usual midterm calendar. Midterms come every four years, exactly two years into a president's term, which puts this election at the halfway point of the current term. Vermont votes on the same day as every other state.
The Times of India frames the Vermont results as part of a larger count. Each outcome feeds into the national picture for Congress and for the governors' map, which is why a small state's returns are tracked alongside everyone else's on election night.
The piece is a preview, not a results report. It was published on the evening of the vote and contains no tallies, no called races and no turnout figures. Anything about who won will have to come from Vermont's official election returns, which are the place to check once counting is complete.
