Absentee ballots are on the way to Montana’s active, registered absentee voters, said Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen in a news release Friday.

“Montana’s 56 county election offices are mailing absentee ballot packets to registered absentee voters today as the 2024 General Election is well underway,” said Jacobsen in a statement.

Montanans can track their absentee ballot at VoteMT.gov. They can also find their sample ballot and polling place while confirming their voter registration information is correct, Secretary of State’s Office said.

Roughly 500,000 absentee ballot packets have been issued, according to the Secretary of State’s Office.

Montana’s 2024 General Election Absentee Ballot Count by County report is available on the Secretary of State’s website (https://sosmt.gov/elections/absentee-ballot-count/). The report will be updated by county election officials as Montanans return their voted ballots.

Ballots must be returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5.

If voters have questions about receiving, voting or returning their ballot, they may contact their county elections office. Contact information is available on the Secretary of State’s website and VoteMT.gov.
