Montana is a no-excuse absentee voting state, so any registered voter may vote by absentee ballot. Applications must be received by the county election office by noon the day before the election. If you drop off the application you will be able to pick up the absentee ballot at the same time, once ballots are available. You may mail your application or designate another person (ex. family member) to return your application and pick up your ballot. If you fill out a section of the application form indicating that you are currently ill or experiencing a health emergency, you may ask your county election administrator to have a special absentee election board bring an absentee ballot to you. More information on this process can be found here.
