SUMMARY:Election Protection Briefing
DESCRIPTION:What is being done in Bozeman and Gallatin County to protect the 2026 election? Find out at Indivisible Bozeman’s Election Protection Briefing on September 10th at 5:30pm. \nYou will learn about –\n✅ the current state of election protection in Gallatin County\n✅ what Indivisible Bozeman and other pro-democracy organizations are doing\n✅ how to volunteer and plug-in \n👉 Register – even if you cannot participate in the virtual meeting\, you can get the recording. \nQuick Election Protection Update\nHere’s what we’re tracking\, what we know now\, and what we’re watching for: \nMail-in voting: New federal USPS requirements that could affect how mail ballots are processed are currently blocked by a federal court\, so Montana’s voting procedures have not changed. The Trump administration is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the rules to take effect before November. For now: follow existing Montana procedures\, and remember that your ballot must be received by 8 PM on Election Day—a postmark is not enough. \nVoter rolls & citizenship checks: Montana has used the federal SAVE database to check voter citizenship\, and questions remain about what Montana voter information MT SOS has shared with federal agencies. Federal courts have temporarily blocked expanded use of SAVE\, and that issue is also headed to the Supreme Court. We’re watching closely for any renewed voter-roll reviews\, challenges\, or changes affecting Montana voters. \nFederal election involvement: DOJ and DHS have expanded election-related monitoring and investigations in other states. We have no indication right now that federal personnel are being deployed to Gallatin County polling places\, but we’re watching for federal requests or involvement in Montana and how state and local officials respond. \nBottom line: We’re seeing significant developments nationally\, but nothing in these developments currently requires Gallatin County voters to change how they register or vote. We’ll alert you if that changes—and we’ll also give you an early heads-up when something develops that could plausibly affect us.
