If you still have an absentee ballot, take it in person. Election officials say ballots must be received by 8 p.m. today, Tuesday, Nov. 3, and a postmark doesn't count. We suggest skipping the mailbox.

  • Deadline: 8 p.m. today, received, not postmarked
  • Most polling places: open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., hours may vary
  • Polling places include Missoula Public Library and UM's
  • Confirm your spot:

You can drop a ballot at your county elections office, an official drop box or a polling place. Missoula County also has drive-thru drop-off sites, and you can register in person before and on Election Day. Your assigned polling place depends on your address. The Missoulian lays out the ways you can still vote.

Missoula County voters have four places to return a ballot today

The Wrap

Downtown Missoula's Festival of the Dead is Missoula's longest running festival, and it honors the cycle of life and death. A procession winds from Higgins Avenue to Caras Park, where anyone can add a memento to the community altar or use the art supplies on hand to make a remembrance. It's all-inclusive and multicultural. Beautiful tradition.
