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

A link to vote for Barack Obama has no place on this page.
Comment By carol stahl, 6-03-08The picture of only one candidate shows your true bias. Biased reporting is the enemy of democracy. Did you perhaps sleep through the ethics class at J-school?
Comment By Anne Millbrooke, 6-03-08Placing a campaign ad next the election guide article is totally inappropriate. Ads and editorial endorsements belong separate from election guides, which from news media are assumed to be neutral.
Comment By Courtney Lowery, 6-03-08Hi Sue, Carol and Anne,
There is no picture associated with this post other than the one of the 'I voted' sticker. And, the Obama ad is coming in via Google Ads, which we do not control.
Totally inappropriate to have an Obama ad next to the election guide. Biased beyond belief.
Comment By Jonathan Weber, 6-03-08C'mon people, think for at least a second before you hurl absurd accusations. See Courtney's comment above. It's really not that complicated.
Comment By S Beland, 6-03-08You inclusion of an ad for Obama on this page throughout election day is unconscionable and should be prosecuted as a violation of election law.
The bias of the news service is totally unbelievable!!!
Now that the day is over it is gone. Surprise!!
Hi Sue,
Let me explain again: That ad comes up as a google ad -- a service we -- and many web sites -- use. The ads are served by google, not by NewWest.Net. We do not choose the ads that show up on what pages, nor do we have a say in which ads appear when. So please don't take offense to the ads displayed in that section.
