This primary is when the Democratic, Republican and Progressive parties select their nominees for state offices, the state House and Senate, and congressional seats.
Some of these nominations are pretty much a done deal — there’s no one trying to take the Republican nomination away from Gov. Phil Scott, for example, and no Democrat is going up against Sen. Bernie Sanders in the primary for his seat — but others are competitive.
