Updated 2:30 p.m. May 8

Results of the May 2 election have been posted to the county website.

The website isn’t dated for when the updates were posted. The county website system did not send a notification that results were posted as it does when other updates are posted to the website such as meeting notifications, bid postings, road closures and other information alerts.

On May 8, the county sent a meeting notification for the election canvass, which has been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. May 19 in the county commission chambers.

The website also includes a thank you for those who helped with the election.

“A huge thank you to all those who helped make the May 2, 2023 elections a success. In spire of the many obstacles, some of which included the closing of our mail services, COVID, and technical difficulties with the vote tabulation equipment, and a completely new election system  at the state level, the election was completed,” the elections office posted to their page on the county website.

Great Falls Public Schools board election results were made available around 9:30 p.m. May 3.

On May 4, the Fort Shaw Irrigation District emailed Sandra Merchant, county clerk and recorder, to request details of their election.

Charla Merja of the district board received results after 2 p.m. May 4.

Results of the election will not be final until the canvass is completed, which is usually about two weeks after the election.
