All 56 Montana counties are planning to use mail ballots only for the June 2, 2020 primary election after Gov. Steve Bullock gave counties the option of going to all mail ballots for the primary under his emergency powers, citing concerns over exposure to the COVID-19 virus.
For voters with disabilities this could present a challenge in casting a private ballot. If you already receive an absentee ballot, your county election office should have AutoMark or ExpressVote machines available for those who need them. However, voters with disabilities may also request an electronic absentee ballot, which can be marked on your home computer and then returned to your county elections office.
This is called the Electronic Ballot Request System (EBRS) for Voters with Disabilities, which can be found at https://www.vote4mtacc.us/election. To vote an electronic ballot, voters must affirm their qualifications and eligibility as a voter with a disability and enter a residential address that can be matched with a Montana ballot type before they can access and mark a ballot.
If you are interested in requesting an electronic ballot, please go to https://sosmt.gov/elections/disabilities and view the EBRS Overview for instructions or contact your county election administrator.
