Commissioners Approve Mail-In Ballots, Council on Aging Budget

Phillips County Commissioner Richard Dunbar reports that both action items of the August 17 Agenda were approved last Monday in Malta.

“Understandably, many people have been concerned with making sure that the election goes as smoothly and safely as possible,” Commissioner Dunbar noted. “About 75-percent of voters are already registered to receive absentee ballots in Phillips County, so we are already pretty well set-up to handle something like this. Voters in Montana, especially in counties with smaller populations like ours can be assured that their votes are safe.”

In addition to mail-in ballots, voting can be done in person at the Phillips County Courthouse any time in the 30 days preceding Election Day by either returning the ballot mailed to you or by requesting a new one. In the event of a ballot not being received or a misplaced ballot, a new one will be provided and any previously mailed to the voter will be voided.
