LETTER: Make sure now that you are registered to vote

I am sure you are all aware that we are about to enter a new election cycle. Voting is important, so it is a good idea to check out your registration status.  

Save yourself the aggravation of going to the wrong polling place or having to stand in the long lines at the fairgrounds to re-register and vote at the last minute. A lot of redistricting has taken place lately, and your voting place could have changed.

Go to http://sos.mt.gov/elections/Vote/index.asp and look for the “registration status” link. There you can find out whether you are current or not. If not, you can also re-register.

May this information give you smooth sailing at the polls this year.
