This year, Town Meeting Day on Tuesday, March 6 is also the day for Vermont's presidential primary.
But, as of press time, not one of the four remaining Republican candidates on the ballot - Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum - has visited Vermont.
Two other candidates that have since dropped out the race for the Republican presidential nomination - Jon Huntsman and Rick Perry - are still on the Vermont ballot.
President Barack Obama is running unopposed in the Democratic primary.
As the smallest of the seven states holding primaries on the so-called “Super Tuesday,” Vermont has not received a great deal of attention.
There are only 17 Republican delegates at stake in the Vermont Republican Primary. Also, delegates are awarded proportionately in Vermont, instead of using a winner-take-all system as other states do.
Add to that the reality that Vermont hasn't supported a Republican candidate for president since 1988, and one can see why there has been little electoral activity by the GOP.
According to Vermont Public Radio, a recent poll of Vermont voters conducted by Castleton Polling Institute, which is affiliated with Castleton State College, found that Romney holds a 34-27 percent lead over Santorum.
The same poll found that, among Vermont voters, President Obama would soundly defeat any of four remaining Republican candidates in November. In head-to-head matchups, Obama would maintain a 26-point lead over Romney, 28 points over Santorum, 30 points over Paul, and 42 points over Gingrich.
New election result site debuts
Vermonters who want the latest primary election results on Tuesday will be able to see them on a new website created by the Vermont Secretary of State's office.
The results will be posted as they are received from towns on vtelectionresults.com. The website will refresh the display of results every five minutes to update and add town by town results.
For March 6, the site will display only the results of the Presidential Republican and Democratic Primaries; no municipal election results will appear on the website.
The website will also provide an automatic RSS feed to the Associated Press.
The Secretary of State's office, through its elections division, has asked and is encouraging all town and city clerks to log into a secure election results database to enter the results of the presidential primary as quickly as possible after the polls close.
In cities and towns that use vote tabulators, the results could start coming in quickly after the polls close. In towns that hand-count the ballots, results might be delayed until later in the evening or Wednesday morning.
