In Montana, the right to vote is automatically restored upon lawful release from incarceration. In order to vote, you simply must register. Montana applies the same rules whether you were convicted of a federal or state crime. The same rules apply for Montana voters even if the conviction occurred in another state. If you move to another state, your right to vote will be controlled by the laws of that state.
Registration is available year round in Montana.
However, in order to vote in a primary or general election, you must be registered at least 30 days before that election. The laws in many states are revised frequently, and may have changed since this pamphlet was issued. It is your responsibility to determine whether you are lawfully eligible to vote, and criminal penalties can result from voting when ineligible or making false statements on a registration form.
