America Amplified

Montana has partnered with America Amplified to answer questions about how to participate in the special and midterm elections. Here are some of the top questions from Montanans we have been able to answer thus far.

Do you know how to vote, where to vote, and what you might need when you show up to the polls? What if your voter registration is out of date, or has a mistake, and you are challenged at the polls — what can you do? What do certain ballot measures mean for the great state of Montana?

Since the last time Montanans went to the polls, new voting laws have been passed, challenged in court, blocked and unblocked. MTPR’s Shaylee Ragar and Freddy Monares make sense of it all and answer questions about where and how to cast a ballot in the June 7 primary.
