CAMILLE BAKER, ROBERT YOON WASHINGTON — Vermont voters are electing federal and state officeholders and other leaders. Here are some of the key facts about the election and data points the AP Decision Team will monitor as the votes are tallied on Tuesday. Polls close at 7 p.m. ET.
美联社将提供投票结果，并宣布州长、联邦众议员、副州长、检察长、州务卿、全州范围公投议题、州参议院、州众议院、州审计长和州财政部长竞选的胜者。佛蒙特州2022年联邦参议员竞选共投出约28.6万张选票。
The Associated Press will provide vote results and declare winners in races for governor, U.S. House, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, statewide ballot measures, state Senate, state House, state auditor and state treasurer. About 286,000 votes were cast in Vermont’s 2022 U.S. Senate race.
佛蒙特州2022年联邦参议员竞选中，约67%的所有选票为提前投票或缺席投票。佛蒙特州最新的提前投票总数可在美联社的提前投票追踪器中查看。
About 67% of all ballots cast in Vermont’s 2022 race for U.S. Senate were cast early or by absentee ballot. The latest advance vote totals for Vermont can be found in the AP’s advance vote tracker .
佛蒙特州在镇和城市层面组织选举。共有247个独立管辖区负责管理地方选举，它们在发布结果的方式和时间上各不相同。在许多较大的管辖区，邮寄投票和选举日现场投票的大部分结果会在首次投票更新中一并发布。
Vermont runs elections at the town and city level. There are 247 separate jurisdictions administering local elections, and they vary in terms of how and when they release results. In many of the larger jurisdictions, the bulk of results from both mail voting and in-person Election Day voting are released together in their first vote update.
2024年大选的首批结果于美国东部时间晚上7点12分开始报出，即投票结束后12分钟。该州于美国东部时间晚上8点48分达到50%计票进度，于晚上10点44分达到90%计票进度。
The first results of the 2024 general election were reported starting at 7:12 p.m. ET, 12 minutes after polls closed. The state reached 50% of votes reporting at 8:48 p.m. ET, and 90% of votes reporting at 10:44 p.m.
如果得票差距低于特定门槛，候选人可以要求重新计票。在联邦、全州范围、县级和州参议员选举中，如果获胜候选人与落败候选人之间的得票差距为总投票数的2%或以下，除以该职位的当选人数，则可以要求重新计票。对于州众议员和地方选举，所需差距为总投票数的5%或以下，除以该职位的当选人数。如果美联社能够确定领先优势大到足以使重新计票或法律挑战无法改变结果，美联社可能会在可能面临重新计票的竞选中宣布获胜者。
ET. A candidate may request a recount if the vote margin falls below a certain threshold. In federal, statewide, county and state Senate elections, a recount may be requested if the vote margin between the winning and losing candidate is 2% or less of the total votes cast, divided by the number of persons to be elected for that position. For state House and local races, the required margin is 5% or less of the total votes cast, divided by the number of persons to be elected. The AP may declare a winner in a race that is subject to a recount if it can determine the lead is too large for a recount or legal challenge to change the outcome.
