Montana received nearly 18% of absentee ballots two weeks from Election Day
BILLINGS — As of Sunday, 17.67% of absentee voters in Montana had sent back their ballots. With Election Day just a little over two weeks away, one MSU Billlings political science professor provided insight on what this might mean for the election.
"In an election season where things are so aggressive right now, you're going to see a spike in people turning those in," said MSU Billings political science professor Paul Pope Monday.
According to absentee ballot data from the Secretary of State, several counties in south central Montana are leading the charge.
25.03% of all absentee ballots have already been submitted in Yellowstone County. Returned absentee ballots in Stillwater, Sweet Grass, and Golden Valley Counties are also sitting around the 25% mark.
