VOTE on TUESDAY, June 3rd

Bozeman’s Primary Elections Guide


By Lucia Stewart, 6-02-08

Voting in Montana primaries is easy. You pick one political party and vote that ballot. And how exciting to be a part of a primary that the entire nation is keening watching.

You don’t have to vote your own party or belong to any party.  You just have to follow through and vote just one party’s ballot.  (In the general election in November, you’ll be able to mix it up.)

If a primary candidate has no opponent, you can write in a name.

Resources for Montana Primary Voters is a NewWest resource about the candidates on the ballot.

Find your polling place by calling the Gallatin County Elections office at: 582-3060, all of which are open from 7am-8pm.

Not registered?  Not a problem.

You can register to vote even on election day at the County Clerk and Recorder’s Office at the Courthouse on 311 W. Main St, between 8am-8pm. Take some kind of identification which has your address. Register, vote and get your “I Voted” sticker. It is traditional to wear the sticker on your lapel all day. It declares your sterling moral character, and reminds other people to vote.

You can print out this registration form and fill it out in advance, but you don’t have to.

Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

George Jean Nathan, American Journalist, is the author of the quote under the title.
