How do I register to vote?
In Montana, registering to vote is easy! All you need is to be a U.S. citizen, a Montana resident, and at least 18 years old by the date of the election. First, you can register in person at your county election office. You’ll need to fill out a Voter Registration Form, provide a photo ID, and provide proof of residence. You can also register with the Department of Motor Vehicles when you apply for or renew a driver’s license. You can also register to vote by mailing or faxing in your application. On the application, you need to provide your full name, date of birth, address, and other personal information, plus two forms of identification with your signature, such as a driver’s license, student ID card, or copy of a pay stub or utility bill. If you’re registered in another state, you can register to vote in Montana as long as you no longer wish to be registered in that state. You’ll have to fill out a new registration form in Montana, but you won’t need to provide any extra documents or identification as long as all of your information is correct. Finally, you can also register to vote online with the Montana Secretary of State’s website. You’ll need to provide a valid driver’s license or state identification card to complete the process. Once you’re registered, you can look up your polling place and see a sample ballot online. You can also request an absentee ballot if you can’t make it to the polls on election day.
