The Libertarian Party of Vermont is the Vermont affiliate of the Libertarian Party. The state chair is Olga Mardach-Duclerc.[1]

The Libertarian Party is the 5th largest in Vermont after the Democratic, Republican, Progressive, and Liberty Union Parties.[2]

In 1998, Neil Randall was elected to the Vermont House of Representatives as a Libertarian, representing Orange County's 3rd district. He left the party, but was re-elected in 2000 as a Republican.[3]

The party ran two candidates in the 2016 elections for Vermont House, as well as other candidates for local offices.[4]

Several Libertarian candidates ran in 2018, including four State Senate seats.

In May 2023, Republican state representative Jarrod Sammis switched to the Libertarian Party.[5]
