There are several key elections coming up in the next few months in Great Falls and Cascade County, and it's been confirmed to MTN news that absentee ballots are being sent out.
Cascade County Clerk & Recorder Sandra Merchant was unavailable for comment, but her employee Deveraux Biddick told MTN News over the phone that absentee ballots are being loaded up in vans and sent out to voters.
They will be sent out to people who are already registered as an absentee voter. If you have not already registered to be an absentee voter, you have until May 1st to visit the elections office at 325 Second Avenue North and register to check your voter status.
