Montanans are able to register to vote on Election Day until 8 p.m., and IDs that don't include an address will be acceptable at the polls. But an informational pamphlet for voters from the secretary of state says otherwise.
Ronnie Jo Horse — executive director of Western Native Voice, one of the advocacy groups that sued the state over its new election laws — says she's concerned the pamphlets will sow confusion in rural Montana and on tribal reservations, where internet and cell service are spotty.
The snafu underscores how voting policies can change at the last minute with little time to educate voters. Montana was one of many states thatafter the 2020 election — several of which have been challenged in court. Horse says rural voters already face barriers to participating in elections, like long drives to the polls."Just a few more hurdles, I think, would deter people from voting," she said.
Connor Fitzpatrick — elections supervisor in Lewis and Clark County, which includes the capital Helena — says his office is spreading the word about the changes on its website and social media pages, and by training election workers.
