Vermont has a single at-large congressional district, meaning one representative serves the entire state in the U.S. House of Representatives. As one of the least populous states, Vermont does not have enough residents to warrant multiple districts under the current apportionment.
Vermont’s single seat covers all of its about 643,000 residents counted in the 2020 Census, so every voter in the state shares the same U.S. House member. The at-large seat is on the ballot every two years, next on November 3, 2026, and the winner represents the whole state rather than one district within it.
Vermont is represented by one at-large member because its population supports just a single seat, and the reapportionment that followed the 2020 Census kept it at one. Unlike states with several districts, Vermont has no congressional lines to redraw after each census, so the boundary of its district is simply the state border. To confirm you live in Vermont’s district, use the ZIP code lookup on our home page.
Vermont’s at-large seat is currently held by Becca Balint (D). All House seats are up for election on November 3, 2026.
Vermont is also represented in the U.S. Senate by Peter Welch (D) and Bernie Sanders (I).

Why Vermont has one seat
Vermont has had a single at-large seat since the 1930s. The 2020 Census counted 643,077 residents, and the Census Bureau estimated 644,663 as of July 1, 2025. Vermont neither gained nor lost a seat in the apportionment that followed the 2020 Census. Federal law provides that a state entitled to one representative elects that member at large.
Who draws the lines
Nobody draws congressional lines in Vermont, because there are none to draw. The state’s congressional redistricting statutes were repealed in 1978 and the chapter has stood empty since.
State legislative districts are a different matter. A seven member Legislative Apportionment Board prepares a proposal, chaired by a special master designated by the Chief Justice, with appointees from the governor and the state party committees. The General Assembly then either enacts the Board’s proposal or substitutes its own plan, which means the governor can veto the result.
On the 2026 ballot
Vermont’s at-large House seat is on the ballot on November 3, 2026, following an August 11 primary. The seat is held by Becca Balint (D), the state’s only member of the U.S. House. Voters also elect the governor, the other statewide officers, and every seat in both chambers of the legislature.
Neither of Vermont’s U.S. Senate seats is up this year. Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch belong to Senate classes that next face voters in 2030 and 2028.
