*=declared write-in
Ballots must be turned into your County Courthouse by 8 PM on Tuesday. If you mail your ballot, it may not arrive in time.
There are no elections in Hill or Liberty County due to a lack of candidates.
There are also elections taking place on the Fort Belknap Reservation for Tribal Council seats. District polling places will be open on the Reservation on Tuesday. However, final results for these elections may take time. This is because absentee ballots sent before November 2nd by mail will be considered for tallying if received by mail by the Election Committee by close of business on November 12th. The change is due to the Veteran’s day holiday on Thursday, November 11th.
The Fort Belknap Election Office is at 212 Hopi Street at the Agency.
