Vermont S0137 proposes adding a "None of these candidates" option on primary and general election ballots.

Vermont S0137 amends election laws to include a "None of these candidates" option on primary and general election ballots. This option would be counted as a vote for none of the listed candidates, not as a blank vote. The bill also intends to modify the Joint Rules of the Senate and House of Representatives to ensure this option is recognized in vote counts. The change aims to provide voters with an alternative to voting for any candidate, ensuring their choice is clearly recorded.
