All 56 counties · General election Tuesday, Nov 3, 2026
Montana has 56 counties. In 2026 most counties elect a county commissioner and some or all of their row officers (clerk and recorder, sheriff, county attorney, treasurer, superintendent of schools, public administrator), often combined into one office in smaller counties, plus justices of the peace and, in some districts, district judges and conservation district supervisors.
Montana county candidates file with each county election office, and the Secretary of State's list covers only federal, state, legislative and judicial offices. Where Vote Book has copied a county's official certified candidate list, that page says so; every other county uses Ballotpedia's county page, labeled as a secondary source.
