Unclear but likely fine. Vermont law says don't show your ballot to reveal your vote, but the Secretary of State's office told Ballotpedia in 2024 that no Vermont law prevents ballot selfies. Easiest with your mail ballot at home.
Can I vote with a felony record in Vermont?
A felony conviction never takes away your vote in Vermont. You can vote even while incarcerated.
