BILLINGS — With Election Day steadily approaching, Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen is encouraging voters to get registered.

Jacobsen, a Republican, said her office is currently seeing an influx in voter registrations, which is standard for this time of year. The month of September is recognized as National Voter Registration Month and Election Day is just over six weeks away.

Jacobsen said that the number of registered voters is typically higher on a presidential election year like this one. So far, she said all signs are pointing to that being the case once again.

According to the secretary of state's website, Yellowstone County currently has the most registered voters with nearly 86,000. Missoula County comes next with close to 78,000, while Gallatin County is third with about 72,000.

1. The encouragement to register...

Has been a big thing in the state for several election cycles due to the push to regain the second US House seat that was taken away some30 - 40 years ago. We got the seat back but all our federal elected reps are all magats except Tester.

If you have any business with the state via mail, a voter registration form is included in the envelop. It's really easy to register and not very hard to vote with early and explanation free mail voting.
