Justice of the Peace  (City of Essex Junction)

15 Seats/Vote for 15

Vermont’s justices of the peace do far more than solemnizing marriages. Their duties are many and varied, from administering oaths to deciding property tax assessment appeals to delivering and counting ballots as elections officials. 

Of all duties of the justice of the peace, election administration is the most crucial. It is expected that, as elected officials, JPs will assist with all elections: primary, general, special, and local. The Board of Civil Authority has “charge of the conduct of elections within the political subdivision for which it is elected.” 17 V.S.A. § 2451.
