On Friday, May 10, the Gallatin County Elections Office mailed approximately 56,500 for the June 4 primary election to active registered absentee voters in Gallatin County. Ballots will begin arriving in mailboxes in the following days. 

Four ballots will be included in each envelope. Voters will have a choice to vote either a Democratic, Republican, Libertarian or Green party ballot this upcoming primary election. Voters must choose ONE party ballot to vote and then return just that ballot. Detailed instructions will be provided with ballots – please read them carefully! 

Absentee ballots must be returned by 8 PM on Election Day, Tuesday June 4. They may be returned in the Gallatin County Elections Office during normal business hours, or on Election Day at the Elections Office or any polling place between 7 AM and 8 PM. If you’re returning your ballot by mail, please return in mail no later than May 24 to ensure it arrives on time. Ballots postmarked on or before Election Day but received after Election Day cannot be accepted.  

We urge all absentee voters to promptly return their ballots. With the sheer volume of ballots we handle, this enables us to get to work processing ballots sooner. That helps streamline Election Day operations, including the swift release of results.
