Looks like all MT counties will do all-mail ballots for June 2 primary

HELENA — All 56 Montana counties are planning to use mail ballots only for the June 2 primary election, to avoid having polls open and possibly exposing voters and poll workers to the coronavirus, the secretary of state’s office said Monday.

Any county has until Wednesday to change its mind, but by a Friday deadline, all Montana counties indicated they’ll be going ahead with the all-mail ballot for the primary election.

While increasing numbers of Montanans have been choosing absentee ballots in recent elections, the June 2 primary will be the first time for a statewide election that the polls will be closed on Election Day and voters must use absentee ballots.

Under his emergency powers, Gov. Steve Bullock gave counties the option of going to all mail ballots for the primary, citing concerns over exposure to the COVID-19 virus.

Absent military and overseas voters will get their ballots sent no later than April 17, but ballots will be mailed to all other registered voters on May 8.
