Cascade County Elections

Elections in Great Falls are run by CascadeCounty, not by the City. The Elections office is at 325 2nd Avenue North, Room 100; the mailing address is PO Box 2305, Great Falls MT 59403. Terry Thompson is Election Administrator.

The office runs federal, state, municipal, school district and special district elections, publishes election dates and candidate certifications, recruits and trains election judges, and posts previous results by category.

Things worth knowing

Same-day registration is available in Montana. Registration forms must reach the county elections office, not a registration drive
HB 719, effective October 1, 2025, requires an elector to give a date of birth when registering and requires absentee electors to provide it on the signature envelope; the administrative rules were revised to require the year of birth under the signature line. If the year is missing or does not match, the administrator must notify the elector. The County ran an awareness campaign from May 2025 through the municipal election, including presentations to the NeighborhoodCouncils in October 2025
The My Voter Page tool checks registration, tracks an absentee ballot and finds a polling place

The Election Administrator is the official who tells the CityCommission when a municipal race may be cancelled for want of contest — see MunicipalElections2025 — and who canvasses and certifies results, including the fireworks ballot issue. See FireworksReferendum2025.
