Montana - Gallatin County

Program Title
Satellite Voting Services
Program Summary
The COVID-19 pandemic made traveling from remote locations even more difficult for voters of Gallatin County. To solve the problem, the Elections Department decided to go to the voters instead of having voters come to them. By establishing mobile satellite offices, staff were able to provide registration and election day services to 2,241 voters. The Elections Department also used social media to share information with voters about services and opportunities offered at their satellite offices.
