Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Vermont in 2022. Information below was calculated on Aug. 4, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Fifty-seven state legislative seats up for election in Vermont in 2022 were open, meaning no incumbents filed to run. This represented 32% of the state's legislature, a marked increase compared to preceding election cycles.
Since no incumbents are present, newcomers are guaranteed to win all open seats.
Vermont restructured its House and Senate during the state's redistricting process after the 2020 census. Before redistricting, the state had 117 state legislative districts, containing a total of 180 seats. After redistricting, districts were altered, added, or removed, resulting in 125 districts, though the number of seats remained the same at 180.
While the number of open seats increased in 2022, other competitiveness metrics—like the number of contested primaries—decreased compared to the 2020 election cycle.
Across all districts, there were 24 contested primaries, representing 10% of all possible primaries.
A contested primary is one where there are more candidates running than nominations available, meaning at least one candidate must lose.
There were 17 Democratic primaries, a 23% decrease from 2020. Republicans held seven contested primaries, the same number as in 2020.
Overall, 276 major party candidates filed to run for the state's 150 House and 30 Senate seats in 2022: 174 Democrats and 102 Republicans.
Open seats
The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Vermont House of Representatives from 2010 to 2022.[2] It will be updated as information becomes available following the state’s candidate filing deadline.

Process to become a candidate
See statutes: Title 17-49 of the Vermont Election Law
Major party candidates
A candidate seeking the nomination of a major political party in the primary must file a nominating petition and consent form with the appropriate filing officer in order to authorize the printing of his or her name on the primary ballot.[3][4]
- For candidates seeking statewide or federal office, paperwork must be filed with the Vermont Secretary of State.

Footnotes
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
