Which Presidential candidates are on Montana's election ballot?
GREAT FALLS — Did the Montana Secretary of State (SOS) fail to include a candidate on the ballot for the November 2024 election?
According to a news release from the SOS office – no.
In response to several reports that Vice-President Kamala Harris was not on the Montana ballot, MTN News contacted the SOS office on Monday for answers.
The agency replied that Harris and all certified candidates appear on Montana’s ballots (as shown in the sample ballot screenshot above), and as voters will see on their own sample ballots in the very near future.
In a news release, the SOS office said:
Contrary to egregious misinformation campaigns circulating online, the Montana Secretary of State’s Office certified all qualified candidates to appear on its 2024 General Election ballot on August 22. A list of certified candidates can be found online at VoteMT.gov.
The 2024 General Election officially began on Friday for eligible voters covered under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA).
Shortly after going live at 8 a.m., election officials were notified about Montana’s Electronic Absentee System (EAS), which is the system exclusively used by a small number of eligible UOCAVA (e.g. Military serving abroad and overseas citizens) voters to access and mark their ballot. The Secretary of State’s Office took the EAS offline while working with the vendor until troubleshooting was completed. By Friday afternoon, the system was back online and available to eligible UOCAVA voters, including those few voters who may have been impacted.
No ballots were affected, including those that will be sent to registered absentee voters and those that will be presented to voters at the polling place on Election Day.
As always, voters should rely on Montana’s trusted sources for credible election information, including the Secretary of State’s Office and the state’s 56 county election offices.
The Secretary of State’s Office appreciates the vendor’s quick troubleshooting and resolution. The Montana Elections Team is grateful to our Montana military members serving abroad, and we’re honored to serve them, their families, and overseas citizens.
Here is a screenshot of the names on the ballot:

Public Meeting at Hub on Smith Concerning Montana Water Call Prompting Priority Administration in Tongue Basin
Wyoming State Engineer Brandon Gebhart announced that on May 5, 2026, the State of Montana placed a call under Article V(A) of the Yellowstone River Compact to fill Tongue River Reservoir in Montana. As a result, priority administration is in effect on post-1950 water rights in Wyoming that divert water from the Tongue River and its tributaries and are not excluded from the compact.
A public meeting will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 18, in the dining room of The Hub on Smith. Attendees are asked to enter on the north side of the building.
The Tongue River Basin has been experiencing drought conditions over the past year with historically low winter snowpack and streamflow conditions. According to the release, those conditions led to Montana’s interstate call and prompted the administration of the Tongue River Basin in Wyoming.
The priority administration will affect post-1950 water rights within the Tongue River Basin, including reservoir storage, stream diversions and groundwater withdrawals, all of which affect river flows. Post-1950 water rights will be regulated off or prevented from turning on. Wyoming hydrographer-commissioners will continue to administer reservoir storage and post-1950 diversions throughout the spring and work with affected water users until the administration is lifted.
As provided in the compact, domestic uses less than one-half acre in area and livestock uses, including stock reservoirs less than 20 acre-feet in capacity, are excluded from this administration. The release noted these excluded rights could be subject to future regulation to satisfy priority calls by senior Wyoming water rights.
Beginning May 5, 2026, Wyoming hydrographer-commissioners have worked to record the current storage levels of reservoirs with post-1950 water rights. Going forward, those reservoirs can continue to accrue storage so long as post-1950 storage gained after the interstate call on May 5 remains in storage until either the water is released to satisfy the Montana call or Montana lifts the call because Tongue River Reservoir will fill.
Reservoirs with unfulfilled pre-1950 water rights can continue to store water and that storage will not be subject to release to satisfy Montana’s call. However, that storage and other direct flow rights could be subject to regulation to satisfy priority calls by senior Wyoming water rights.
The priority administration will be carried out pursuant to state law by hydrographer-commissioners assigned to various portions of the Tongue River Basin, working under the direction of Division II Superintendent David Schroeder.
The Wyoming State Engineer’s Office can be contacted at:
Jack Morey, deputy state engineer, 307-777-5032, jack.morey2@wyo.gov
David Schroeder, Division II superintendent, 307-674-7012, d.schroeder@wyo.gov
Jeff Cowley, interstate streams administrator, 307-777-1942, jeff.cowley@wyo.gov
