Jordan, Montana Public Records

The Montana Department of Justice offers additional resources and support for residents seeking detailed criminal background checks, so that individuals have access to accurate and up-to-date information.

Acceptable ID includes a Montana driver's license, tribal ID, current utility bill, bank statement, or other government document showing name and address. Since Jordan lacks incorporated municipal government or city council, there are no city-specific elections. Residents vote only in county, state, and federal elections. County elections include positions such as County Commissioners (three members serving six-year staggered terms), Sheriff, County Clerk and Recorder, Treasurer, Assessor, and other constitutional offices. Local residents are assigned polling places based on their precinct, with the primary location being the Garfield County Courthouse at 307 West Main Street. Voters can verify their polling place and view sample ballots through the Montana Secretary of State My Voter Page at https://app.mt.gov/voterinfo. As a universal mail ballot state since 2020 legislation, Montana automatically sends all active registered voters a mail ballot approximately three weeks before each election. Ballots can be returned by mail (must be postmarked by Election Day) or dropped at designated drop boxes or the election office. In-person voting remains available at election offices and polling places. Public election records in Montana include voter registration lists (available for purchase for political purposes), campaign finance reports filed with the Commissioner of Political Practices at https://camptrackmt.gov, candidate filings, precinct-level election results, and election judge rosters. In the November 2024 general election, Garfield County reported approximately 75-80% voter turnout among its roughly 900 registered voters, consistent with historically high participation rates in presidential elections. On November 3, 2026, Jordan and Garfield County voters will decide several significant races. Montana does not have a U.S. Senate seat up for election in 2026, but voters will elect one U.S. Representative for Montana's Second Congressional District (the county was placed in the eastern district following 2020 redistricting). State elections will include all 100 Montana House of Representatives seats and half of the 50 state Senate seats, with local voters participating in Senate District 18 and House District 35. County-level races will include various constitutional offices depending on term schedules, and voters will decide on any statewide ballot initiatives or referenda. Montana's Governor serves four-year terms with elections in presidential years, so the next gubernatorial election will be in 2028. Absentee ballots are automatically sent to all registered voters, but those needing a replacement ballot or registering close to Election Day can contact the Garfield County Election Office directly or request through https://sosmt.gov.
