Ten Republicans and four Democrats have qualified to be placed on the ballot in Vermont's March 1 presidential primary.
State law requires any candidate seeking to have his or her name printed on the ballot of a major party presidential primary to file petitions signed by no fewer than 1,000 registered Vermont voters, along with a $2,000 filing fee.

Joining Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley on the Democratic ballot is Roque "Rocky" De La Fuente, a California businessman.   10 Republican candidates qualified for the ballot.

The deadline to register to vote in the primary is Wednesday, Feb. 24.

Anyone registering for the first time or in a new town can do so online at www.olvr.sec.state.vt.us.

Voters can then access and update information about their registration and polling place on the My Voter Page at www.mvp.sec.state.vt.us.
