The
Vermont General Assembly is the
legislative body of the
U.S. state of
Vermont. The Legislature is formally known as the "General Assembly," but the style of "Legislature" is commonly used, including by the body itself. The General Assembly is a
bicameral legislature, consisting of the 150-member
Vermont House of Representatives and the 30-member
Vermont Senate. Members of the House are elected by single and two-member districts. 58 districts choose one member, and 46 choose two, with the term of service being two years. The Senate includes 30 Senators, elected by 13 multi-member districts. It is the only state legislative body in the United States in which a
third-party has had continuous representation and been consecutively elected alongside Democrats and Republicans.
