2020 Vermont gubernatorial election


The 2020 Vermont gubernatorial election will be held on November 3, 2020, to elect the Governor of Vermont. As Vermont does not impose term limits upon its governors, incumbent Republican Governor Phil Scott is eligible to run for reelection to a third term in office. On November 18, 2019, he confirmed that he was running for reelection, but has not yet publicly announced his campaign. On May 28, 2020, he officially announced his candidacy but stated that he would not campaign, maintain a campaign staff, or fundraise until the state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Vermont ended. The primary is August 11.
