MT Primary Election Advice: Double-Check Polling Place
From: Big Sky Connection (Montana)
Length: 01:14
BILLINGS, Mont. - Montana's primary election is Tuesday, and it's expected that turnout will be higher than it was in 2010.
There are a couple of things to keep in mind to make sure every vote counts. Theresa Keaveny, executive director of the Montana Conservation Voters Education Fund, says that, for those voting by mail, if the ballot didn't make to the mailbag yet, don't put a stamp on it. Instead, personally deliver it to the county election office or a polling location.
And she advises double-checking those polling sites.
"In several counties, polling-place consolidation has occurred, so the polling locations may not be at the same location they were when people voted in 2010."
Keaveny says there's a lot at stake in this primary election.
"Clean air, the future of public lands, and how Montanans will be able to access them for hunting and fishing and family recreation. Those kinds of decisions are made by the people whose names appear on the June ballot."
If voters have questions about polling locations, it's best to contact a county election office - or call the Montana Conservation Voters Education Fund at 406-254-1593.
