Mail In Ballot

As Missoula and the rest of the country prepares for the all mail general election in November, County Commission Chairman Josh Slotnick provided more details about how the election will be handled in Missoula County.

After actions by Governor Steve Bullock and the Missoula County Commissioners, the decision was made to make the June 2 primary a mail only election.

An amendatory veto by Governor Steve Bullock will likely have little impact on the upcoming special election for Ryan Zinke’s U.S. House Seat.

On Friday, Governor Steve Bullock gave new life to an effort to have the Special Federal Election on May 25 be through a mail-in ballot, with an opt-out feature for counties who choose it.

The partisan wrangling over Senate Bill 305 continued today as the House Judiciary Committee voted to table the bill after efforts to force the bill through as the meeting was coming to a close.

Now that Ryan Zinke has been confirmed as the new U.S. Secretary of the Interior, the Montana Secretary of State's Office has provided information about a special election to fill Zinke's unexpired term.

Some major issues will be decided in the mail-in election for which ballots were mailed out earlier this month.

The effort to keep Lolo school district voters fully informed regarding the upcoming school bond issue request continues, as the date approaches to send out ballots.

The good news for Lolo School's bond issue was a 60 percent voter turnout. The bad news was that the issue failed by only 43 votes.
