(HELENA,)— Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen and the Montana Election Team are celebrating a successful election after thousands of Montanans cast their votes to elect local leaders and decide local issues.
“Thank you to all of our Montana voters who ensured their voices were heard in these elections. The Montana Election Team is honored to serve you,” said Secretary Jacobsen.
More than 180,000 Montanans participated in Tuesday’s elections, selecting local leaders in races for mayor, city commission, and more. Statewide, voter turnout was roughly 50 percent, indicating strong interest in the municipal elections.
This election cycle was the first conducted with new election laws, including House Bill 719. Voters provided their signature, the date, and their year of birth on the affirmation envelope, allowing election officials to efficiently and securely verify each voter.
