Key dates

• Regular voter registration deadline (mail must be postmarked by this date). After it, you can still register in person at your county election office.: October 5, 2026. Late registration in person at the county election office runs from October 6 through Election Day at 8 p.m. It pauses from noon on November 2 until Election Day morning. A court has blocked SB 490, so Election Day registration is still available.
• In-person absentee voting at the county election office: October 9, 2026 to November 2, 2026. Montana has no separate early voting. Voters can request and cast an absentee ballot in person at their county election office once ballots are ready (they were mailed October 9). Hours vary by county, so check with yours.
• Last day to request an absentee ballot: November 2, 2026. Requests are due by noon on Monday, November 2. Completed ballots must reach the county election office by 8 p.m. on Election Day. A postmark is not enough.
• Election Day: November 3, 2026. Most polls are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Some small precincts may open later, so check your polling place.
