Belgrade Voters to Receive Updated Voter Confirmation Cards

City of Belgrade voters will receive updated Voter Confirmation Cards in the mail within the next week. Due to an error in the redistricting process completed this August, previously mailed confirmation cards did not assign the correct ward districts to Belgrade voters.

This error has been corrected in the statewide registration system and the Gallatin County Elections office will be mailing over 5,000 corrected notices to City of Belgrade voters. Belgrade municipal voters who previously received a confirmation card in September should destroy old cards and retain the new, corrected cards they’ll receive in the coming week.

This error did not affect the recent November 7, 2023, Belgrade Municipal Election because the Belgrade ward council member positions were uncontested. The council member elections were canceled by the City of Belgrade and the filed candidates acclaimed to the offices.

Belgrade voters may verify their assigned wards by searching their residential address on the Gallatin County Elections Mapper. Questions and concerns may be directed to the Gallatin County Elections Office at 406-582-3060 or by emailing gallatin.elections@gallatin.mt.gov.
