Governor Steve Bullock issued a directive recently that gives Montana counties the option of conducting the November 3rd election by mail ballots. As part of Bullock's directive he stated:

It only makes sense that we start preparing now to ensure that no Montanan will have to choose between their vote or their health. They didn’t have to in June, and they shouldn’t have to in November.

If you haven't taken our poll yet, we're asking people to weigh in on how they feel on mail-in voting. Take the poll using the button below.
