The '''Vermont General Assembly''' is the [[State legislature (United States)|legislative body]] of the [[U.S. state|state]] of [[Vermont]], in the United States. The Legislature is formally known as the "General Assembly", but the style of "Legislature" is commonly used, including by the body itself.<ref>[http://www.leg.state.vt.us/ Vermont Legislature<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> 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. 68 districts choose one member, and 41 choose two, with the term of service being two years. The Senate includes 30 Senators, elected by seven single-member and nine multi-member districts with two or three members each. It is the only state legislative body in the United States in which a [[Vermont Progressive Party|third party]] has had continuous representation and been consecutively elected alongside Democrats and Republicans.

The Vermont General Assembly meets at the [[Vermont State House]] in the state capital of [[Montpelier, Vermont|Montpelier]]. Biennial terms commence on the Wednesday following the first Monday in January (beginning in 1915; thus, terms commence in odd-numbered years).<ref>[http://www.leg.state.vt.us/statutes/const2.htm Vermont Constitution, Chapter 2, Article 7.]</ref>
