The 2024 Vermont lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the lieutenant governor of Vermont, concurrently with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the United States Senate and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.
Primary elections took place on August 13, 2024.[1]
Republican former state Senator John Rodgers defeated incumbent Progressive lieutenant governor David Zuckerman who was running for re-election to a fourth non-consecutive term in office.[2][3] Zuckerman conceded to Rodgers on November 7, but suggested that the legislature could overturn the results of the election as the Constitution of Vermont allows lawmakers to vote to install any of the top three vote-getters in an election when no candidate reaches 50 percent of the vote. This is unlikely, however, as the last time the legislature declined to ratify the voters' choice was in the 1976 Vermont lieutenant gubernatorial election.[4]
