The Free Voters of Trentin (Ladin: Votadërs Libers de Trentin) is a conservative, ruralist political party in Provinzia Trentin, considered by most political experts to be centre-right. It has served as part of the governing coalition of Tirol since the 2023 election. The term free voters applies to a number of organisations across Tirol, however, only the VLT are represented in the National Council.
Due to its origins as an organisation of independents, the Free Voters are loosely organised and have no standardised ideology amongst its members. Broadly they are centrist to centre-right, and advocate for increased localism in politics, including expanded devolution to both the Provincial Council of Trentin, and to the district and comun councils. Some members advocate for the creation of a semi-autonomous or even independent state of Trentin, although these views are marginalised.
