– Per WP:LOWERCASE and WP:TITLECON. Better conforms to the naming convention used for U.S. congressional districts. For example:
 * Addison Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Addison Senate district
 * Bennington Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Bennington Senate district
 * Caledonia Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Caledonia Senate district
 * Chittenden Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Chittenden Senate district
 * Essex Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Essex Senate district
 * Essex-Orleans Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Essex-Orleans Senate district
 * Franklin Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Franklin Senate district
 * Grand Isle Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Grand Isle Senate district
 * Lamoille Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Lamoille Senate district
 * Orange Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Orange Senate district
 * Orleans Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Orleans Senate district
 * Rutland Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Rutland Senate district
 * Washington Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Washington Senate district
 * Windham Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Windham Senate district
 * Windsor Vermont Senate District → Vermont's Windsor Senate district
 * Vermont's 1st congressional district
 * Vermont's 2nd congressional district
 * Vermont's at-large congressional district

...as well as other state senate districts, such as
 * Iowa's 40th Senate district
 * Michigan's 18th Senate district
 * West Virginia's 6th Senate district

Long term, the consensus reached here could potentially be applied to Vermont House of Representatives districts and Massachusetts General Court districts as well (Vermont and Massachusetts are the few states that use county names in their legislative districts, as opposed to strict numerical naming).

 * I am concerned that the proposed titles make it sound like there is, e.g., a thing called "Addison Senate" and the article is about Vermont having a district for this Addison Senate. These are all placenames in Vermont, and I would suggest something more like Senate district of Addison, Vermont (if the district corresponds to the place), or Addison district, Vermont Senate if that is just the name of the district.

 * A valid concern. District names correspond to the county they cover. You could make an argument that the current formation is also somewhat misleading because it makes it sound like it's the Senate district for the town of Addison, Vermont, when it's really for Addison County, Vermont. Certainly open to a Addison district (Vermont Senate) alternative - although I'd recommend parentheses instead. Woko Sapien (talk) 18:42, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I would suggest Addison (Vermont Senate district) is the least awkward and clearest possible formulation. Number   5  7  15:54, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Also an acceptable alternative. Woko Sapien (talk) 14:56, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
