Editor’s note: The final county has now finished its sample ballots. The 2026 Primary Election sample ballots are available to registered Montana voters at http://voterportal.mt.gov/.
HELENA, Mont. — Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen says the Montana Election Team, consisting of state and local election officials, has uploaded Primary Election sample ballots for voters across the Treasure State. As of Monday afternoon, sample ballots are available to Montana voters in all but one county. (Missoula County is expected to finish this week.)
Secretary Jacobsen and the Montana Election Team completed ballot certification for the June 2nd Primary Election last month and immediately began the ballot-proofing process for every precinct across the state. Once a county’s ballot was finalized, sample ballots were uploaded to the state’s voter information site: http://voterportal.mt.gov/.
“It’s never too soon to begin preparing for Election Day, and voters across Montana can view their sample ballots to make a plan for casting their votes in the June 2nd Primary Election,” said Secretary Jacobsen. “I’m grateful to the Montana Election Team for the efficiency in providing these sample ballots to Montana voters in such a timely manner.”
Registered voters can log in to the state’s voter information site using their name and date of birth, then select the “sample ballot” option in the menu to view each qualified political party’s primary election sample ballot. As a reminder, voters will be allowed to vote for only one party’s ballot in the June 2nd Primary Election.
Voters can also use the voter portal website to confirm their voter registration information, including name, address, and absentee voter status. The Montana Election Team is also reminding Montana voters of important election information, including:
- showing a photo voter ID at the polls,
- signing, dating, and including birth year on absentee return envelopes, and
- same-weekend registration will be available statewide on Saturday, May 30th.
