The Vermont Supreme Court will hear arguments in Anderson v State of Vermont, 2012-272, on March 27. The main issue is the method by which independent candidates must submit their signatures, compared to the easier method required for candidates petitioning for a place on a primary ballot. The June petition deadline is also intertwined with this case. The Vermont Supreme Court has chosen to hold this oral argument at a university law school auditorium, instead of in the normal courtroom.
