MONTANA SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS JUNE 2 PRIMARY VOTING DEADLINE
The Montana Supreme Court on Wednesday has overturned a Yellowstone County District Court Judge’s ruling that ballots dated up to June 2 must be counted in the mail-in primary election.
Montana Attorney General Tim Fox issued the following statement after the Montana Supreme Court decision.
“I am pleased that the Montana Supreme Court maintained our long-standing ballot deadline of 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, especially since some counties are using prepaid ballot return envelopes that are not postmarked. Ten days before an election is not an appropriate time to upend an important and widely known voting deadline.”
