🏛️ A Milestone for Glacier County Elections
What many voters may not know is that the Glacier County Voting Center in Browning has been more than four years in the making.
In 2020, Glacier County was awarded an election grant of more than $263,000, secured by Election Administrator Crystal R. Butterfly-Cole. Through that grant, the county purchased the property that now serves as the Glacier County Satellite Office. Included in the purchase was the adjacent shop building.
Over the past four years, that shop has been remodeled and transformed into a permanent voting center for Browning-area voters, providing a dedicated space for federal, state, and local elections.
It is also important to note that the Elections Department operates separately from the Clerk & Recorder's Office. Election operations, voting equipment, election grants, and election administration are managed through the Elections Department, which continually seeks opportunities to improve election services and accessibility throughout Glacier County.
Today, Glacier County is proud to be the only county in Montana with its own permanent satellite office and permanent voting center dedicated to conducting federal elections.
📍 The new Voting Center, located at the Glacier County Satellite Office in Browning, will open on June 2, 2026, at 7:00 a.m. The facility will serve as the polling location for Precincts 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 19, and 21C. Same-day voter registration services will also be available at this location on Election Day.
This achievement represents years of planning, investment, and commitment to ensuring that Glacier County voters have access to secure, accessible, and professional election services for generations to come.
