Montana's overseas voting system fixed after error leaves Harris off ballot

Military and overseas voters can once again vote through the state’s Electronic Absentee System after the Montana Secretary of State’s Office corrected an error that left Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz off the ballot.

Friday, the Secretary of State’s Office took down the system that some military and overseas voters use to case their ballot for several hours while vendors fixed the system after the office was notified of the omission.

Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen’s office issued a news release Monday morning that started with the assertion: “No, Montana did not leave a candidate off the 2024 General Election ballot.”

The Daily Inter Lake first reported the issue with the Electronic Absentee System on Friday afternoon, saying a Flathead County voter living in the United Kingdom had logged on to the absentee overseas ballot system on Friday and noticed the presidential race only contained Republican Donald Trump and Independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as options.
