It's easy for the typical Granite Stater to forget how small New Hampshire is, especially during a presidential election year. Every four years, the state's political importance gets inflated by the proudly-touted First-in-the-Nation Presidential Primary.

Election day is finally here. State officials are expecting a strong voter turnout that will determine the outcome of numerous local, state and federal races.

Vermont voters are headed to the polls to elect a governor, U.S. senator and their lone U.S. House representative.

Former Vermont governor Howard Dean says next week's presidential election is too close to call.

Usually former governors don't get involved in down ticket races but this year is different.

As the election approaches, the Vermont secretary of state's office is offering information online about the statewide candidates.

Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos isn't satisfied with the speed of reporting the state's election results, and last week said he wants city and town clerks to make voting results available to his office on election nights. The Vermont Municipal Clerks' and Treasurers' Association says it would like to have heard from the Secretary of State prior to his statements.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Randy Brock says he's very disappointed that Governor Peter Shumlin will agree to only five debates during their fall campaign. Shumlin says he's too busy being governor to participate in any additional debates and he argues that five issue-oriented debates will give voters a clear picture about the priorities of each candidate.
