Did you receive a postcard from the Montana Secretary of State's office? It looks like it would update your voter registration BUT it won’t do that!

The SOS office is mailing these postcards to folks who they think have recently moved. The deadline to update your voter registration via mail has passed, and if people fill this out, they will still need to go in person to register to vote.

Need to update your voter registration? Starting TODAY, you have to do it in person at your county election office. Updates sent by mail are no longer an option for the November 3 election.

Check your registration online at voterportal.mt.gov . If your information is correct, you don’t need to do anything. If your information is wrong, you must go in person to the county clerk or election office where you currently live. Staff there can update your registration and give you a ballot.

Yep, 81 for the high tomorrow and 5 inches of snow on Sunday. Enjoyed those awesome 2 fall days this year!!

A new Montana investment will help Blackfeet Tribal EMS replace aging equipment and strengthen its ability to provide emergency care across the reservation. The agency covers more than 1.5 million acres and responds to roughly 3,800 calls each year.

Gov. Greg Gianforte and Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services recently announced an $8.7 million investment through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to support emergency medical services in rural communities across Montana.

The funding will assist 78 EMS agencies with equipment purchases and provide four new ambulances. Blackfeet Tribal EMS is one of four agencies selected to receive a new ambulance, valued at approximately $340,000.

The agency currently operates four emergency vehicles, most of which have outdated equipment. The new ambulance will be equipped to help crews provide care when winter weather and rural roads add challenges.

Officials say the additional resources will help Blackfeet Tribal EMS better serve the people who depend on it when an emergency happens.
