Which district you vote in depends on your address — your sample ballot lists your own legislative and local races.
As of 2026-10-14. Every race and measure here was checked against the Montana official sources listed above and below. Anything that could not be confirmed is left out rather than guessed. Candidates are listed in the order their source lists them, which is not always the order on your ballot. Lists can change — your official sample ballot is authoritative. Local races are not shown.
