Voting is expected to take place throughout the state from 5:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. in much of the state , with some precincts closing as late as 10:00 p.m . In the open primary , candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent in order to be considered viable . The 16 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary . Of the 16 pledged delegates , 11 are allocated on the basis of the statewide result ( by definition coterminous with the state 's sole congressional district ) and another 2 are allocated to party leaders and elected officials ( PLEO delegates ) , in addition to 3 at-large pledged delegates . Bonus delegates will be allocated as Vermont shares a primary date with numerous other states on Super Tuesday ; these numbers do not yet account for these delegates
