Election day › Early vote › Montana
Ballots returned by mail and cast in person in Montana, as the state reports them. Who is running in Montana →
Montana does not report the party of early voters, so there is nothing to compare.
Montana does not report in-person early votes, so this total is a floor, not the whole early vote.
Counts as of November 5, 2026, from civicAPI (opens in a new tab), which collects them from state election offices. Party is the voter’s registration, never how they voted, and many states report none.
| Count | Ballots | As of | Party registration | Lean |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mail ballots returned | 407,301 | Nov 5 | Party not reported | None |
| Mail ballots requested | 535,395 | Nov 5 | Party not reported | None |
| In-person early votes | Not reported |
Mail ballots requested are not votes. Ballots cast is mail ballots returned plus in-person early votes. A category the state does not collect is shown as not reported, not as zero.
Latest: 2 days after
civicAPI keeps no earlier election's early vote for Montana.
