Hi Montana, if you want to vote in the  2022 midterm elections there are three   steps you need to take.

Register, Make  your plan, and of course, vote.   Lets start with getting registered. You’ll need to  print out a voter registration form and mail it in   by October 11th, or fill out a form at your county  elections office by noon on November 7th.   Once you’re registered, time to make your  plan for how you’re going to vote.   If you’re going to be out of town on election day  or just want to vote early from the comfort of   your own couch, you can request that your ballot  be mailed to you.

You have until November 7th to   request an absentee ballot, but the sooner  you ask for one, the sooner you can get it,   fill it out, and mail it back or drop it off at  your county elections office by November 8th.   Montana says to plan for one week of processing  time once you’ve mailed in your application.   You can also vote absentee in person from October  11th through November 7th at your county elections   office. You can find their locations and  hours at howtovote.link/montana.   Or you can vote on election day on November 8th.  You can look up where and when you’ll vote at that   same link. Polls are open from 7am to 8pm.

You’ll also need to bring a photo ID with your   name and address on it with you, like a driver’s  license, passport, military or tribal ID,   or concealed carry permit. If you are using a  Student ID, you also need a proof of address   like a utility bill, paycheck, or bank statement  with your name and address on it.   Once you have your plan for how you’re  going to vote, where you need to go,   what time you’re going to vote, and what ID you’re  going to bring, you just need to follow the plan,   and go vote on or before November 8th. If you want to know everything that you can vote   for ahead of time, you can find a sample ballot  at howtovote.link/montana so you have time to   research candidates and make your decisions.  You don’t have to vote for everything for your   ballot to count, but this is your best chance to  choose who gets to make decisions about your life:   all the way from congress to your  city council or school board.   We’ve put all the links for everything  you need to register, vote absentee,   find your polling place, and  locate your sample ballot at   howtovote.link/montana.

Thank you for voting!
