Gallatin County School and Special Districts election deadline looms with minimal returned ballots
BOZEMAN — May 6 is the last day to turn in your ballots for the Gallatin County School and Special Districts election.
These elections have a historically low voter turnout, but they can have a big impact on local schools and public safety resources.
County Clerk and Recorder Eric Semerad says of the over 75,000 ballots that have been sent out to Gallatin County and special district residents, only about 15,000, or 20%, have been returned.
Officials with the Three Forks School District have expressed great need for the $268,000 mill levy that they say would help fund operational costs and staff salaries.
