# set to raster map to obtain raster's resolution
g.region rast=raster_map

# set bounds to match vector map and expand bounds to current resolution.
g.region vect=vector_map -ap


I am not sure if -a works properly if you do not also use res=. So maybe
set res= by hand in the second step to match what r.info says, and make sure
it has aligned cleanly.

maybe this way:
g.region vect=vector_map
g.region align=raster_map

?
