The 2026 Vermont Senate election will be held on November 3, 2026, alongside the other 2026 United States elections.[1] Primary elections were held on August 11. Vermont voters will elect members of the Vermont State Senate in all 125 of the U.S. state of Vermont's legislative districts to serve a two-year term.[2]

Districts that elect more than one senator use plurality block voting; in districts that elect two senators, each voter can select up to two candidates on their ballot, and in districts that elect three senators, voters can select up to three candidates. Under Vermont's electoral fusion system, candidates can receive the nomination of more than one party, with all their nominations being listed on the ballot.
