The Vermont Secretary of State’s office has released its first 2026 campaign finance report.
The report reflects the most recent filing deadline on July 1. It shows which candidates have -- or have not -- registered in the campaign finance system. The threshold for reporting is $500 raised or spent per reporting cycle. The elections division says low-spending registered candidates file an affidavit at each deadline attesting that they are not required to report.
The campaign finance report issued Thursday found 80% of all Vermont candidates complied with the requirement to file a disclosure or affidavit. State Senate candidates had the highest compliance at 97% while candidates for county offices were the lowest at 68%.
All of Vermont’s state offices are up for election this year.
