HELENA, Mont. — Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen said roughly 125,000 absentee ballots have been received by election officials with two weeks remaining until Election Day. More than 500,000 absentee ballots have been submitted to voters for the 2024 General Election.
“Friends, family, and neighbors are casting their votes statewide to ensure their voices are heard in this historic election,” said Secretary Jacobsen. “As Election Day approaches, we want to remind voters to fill out their ballots and return them to their county election officials. Montanans can track the status of their absentee ballot on our voter resources website, VoteMT.gov.”
The status of an absentee voter’s status may include:
- SENT: Your county has mailed your absentee ballot packet.
- RECEIVED: Your county has received your voted absentee ballot.
- ACCEPTED: Your signature was verified and your ballot will be counted during tabulation.
Voters should contact their county if they did not receive their absentee ballot or if their ballot status is “UNDELIVERABLE” or “REJECTED.”
Earlier this year, Secretary Jacobsen unveiled the Absentee Ballot Counts webpage. The interactive and user-friendly report provides Montana voters with updated information about absentee ballot counts during the election. It can be viewed on the Secretary of State’s website (https://sosmt.gov/elections/absentee-ballot-count/).
According to the Absentee Ballot Counts report, with two weeks remaining until Election Day, county election officials have received nearly 25 percent of absentee ballots.
