The filing deadline is March 24 and write-in candidates need to file by March 31. All school board candidates will be invited to participate in the forum.

Election Day is May 3. This election is by mail-in ballot, which will be mailed April 18. If you are not registered to vote, the last day to register for a mail-in ballot is April 4. Late registration is in-person-only from April 5 to noon May 2 at  the election office, Room 168 of the City-County Building, 316 N. Park Ave, 447-8339. 

Lewis & Clark Library is hosting the virtual event with Jen Gursky, Executive Director of the Helena YWCA, as moderator. 

“We think the school board election is very important, so we want people to know who they’re voting for,” says local LWV co-chair Claire Kearns. “It’s important to know why people are running for the board, what their positions are and what they hope to do on the board.” 

To sign up for the webinar, click on the Register button and a zoom link will be emailed to you.

The webinar will be recorded and posted on the Library's YouTube channel and the local LWV website.
