Primary Election Day

The Montana Supreme Court on Wednesday has overturned a Yellowstone County District Court Judge’s ruling that ballots dated up to June 2 must be counted in the mail-in primary election.

It is primary election day, and only about 19,000 out of over 48,000 absentee ballots had been turned in to the Missoula Elections Office as of Saturday.

Missoula set a new record high on Monday of 94 degrees at the National Weather Service. The old record was 93, set in 1977.
