Registering to Vote Voter registration information may be found online at https://sosmt.gov/elections/vote. Physical registration forms may be picked up at the Cascade County Election Office at 325 2nd Ave N, the Driver's License Bureau at 207 Smelter Ave NE, or at many civic offices. To vote in Montana, you must be: • Registered as required by law. • 8 years old or older on or before the next election. • A citizen of the United States. • A resident of Montana for at least 30 days. Even if you meet the above eligibility qualifications, you cannot vote if: • You're a convicted felon serving a sentence in a penal institution. • You've been judged in a court of law to be of unsound mind. Registration is permanent unless you did not vote in a federal general election and did not respond to two confirmation mailings, or you had a mail ballot returned to the county election office as undeliverable and did not respond to a confirmation mailing. You will then be placed on the inactive voter registration list and be required to reactivate your registration. Late Registration Late registration is an option for people who miss the regular registration deadline. It is available starting the day after the close of regular registration and ends at noon on the day before the election. Late registration must be done at the county election office (or at the location designated by the election administrator), not at a polling place. Please contact the election office for required identification or visit sosmt.gov/voter-id/voter-registration-id-options/. Voting Absentee Any registered voter may vote by absentee ballot. You must first apply for an absentee ballot. Applications are available during a period beginning 75 days before Election Day and ending at noon on the day before the election. Applications may be picked up at the Elections Office at 325 2nd Ave N, downloaded online at sosmt.gov/elections/vote/, or you may call (406) 454-6803 or (888) 884-8683 and request an application be mailed to you. * Businesses listed in blue are Chamber Members.
