Early voting and registration is open until NOON today. Then we pause until 7 a.m. tomorrow morning so we can do final prep to polling place registers. If you don't come in before noon, you MUST go to your polling place to vote. See below for polling place times and locations or https://voterportal.mt.gov/WhereToVote.aspx Absentee ballots can be turned in all day and ENCOURAGED!

As I am about to embark on another full day of Polling Place voting preparation, I'd like to do a "Call to Vote". I've done my statutory duties and published the required Notice of Elections letting you know there will be an election, but now I want to do a personal Call to Vote. Election Administrators all across this Beautiful State in the Greatest Country on the planet, pull a lot of long hours in preparation for those to be able to cast their vote. Whether you vote absentee or in the polling place, that is a right that was/is given to you and protected by so many brave souls willing to put their lives on the line to protect that right. So I am calling on you all to do just that and VOTE. You might not think the primary is a "big deal"; well it is to each and every individual on that ballot fighting to make it to the next round in November, to be your next voice in the big arena. So get those absentee ballots in by 8 p.m. June 2, correct your rejected ballot if you have one, or get yourself to your polling location if that is how you are registered and make your vote be heard!
PS - Jefferson County MT we are at 45.9% ~~

Just an observation... if you feel like you are struggling to get your secrecy envelope shut or that it is just a really tight fit, you most likely are returning more ballots than is allowed! You only get to vote 1 of the 3 and return only that 1 voted ballot. If you vote more than 1 and return them, NONE will count!! After you vote the 1, discard the other 2!

Well Fergus County, here is your T-minus 7 days and counting for absentee's returned and accepted as of 5 pm today! Not sure where Jefferson County MT is sitting, but lets keep them rolling in. We STRONGLY suggest that you bring them in now instead of placing in the mail to ensure your vote is counted. You can still come in and vote early up until June 1 at NOON~~

As of 2 p.m. Fergus County, here is our absentee returns. Cuz, as I was informed this morning, the .9 matters! Every ballot we get in, means Jefferson County has to get 2 to make a difference 😏 (girl math). Lewistown News-Argus KXLO News

Fergus County, what's the best way to stop the campaign calls? Get your absentee ballot IN and tell them you already voted! If you don't have one, come in and our office can issue you one over the counter! Lewistown News-Argus KXLO News
