Glen, Montana Public Records

Montana voters can register online through the Montana Secretary of State's website at https://sosmt.gov/elections/vote/ using the online voter registration portal, which requires a current Montana driver's license or state ID card. Voter registration deadlines allow for registration up to and including election day for in-person registration at the Beaverhead County election office or designated late registration sites, though mail registration requires the application to be received by the close of regular business on the Friday before election day. Montana law (MCA § 13-2-110) permits election day registration with proper identification and proof of residence. As an unincorporated community, Glen does not hold municipal elections for mayor or city council since there is no local municipal government. Residents vote in federal, state, and county elections. Montana will hold elections for its single U.S. House of Representatives seat, as the state gained a second congressional district following the 2020 census reapportionment, and Glen falls within one of these districts. The Montana State Legislature elections will include races for State Senate District 44 and State House of Representatives districts covering Beaverhead County, with all 100 House seats and half of the 50 Senate seats up for election. County-level races in 2026 will include positions such as County Commissioner, Sheriff, Clerk and Recorder, County Attorney, and other constitutional offices depending on the election cycle.Current federal, state, and local election schedules, ballot contests, candidate filings, and certified results for Glen voters are published by the Montana Secretary of State Elections (https://sosmt.gov/elections/).S.
