The 2018 general election is peaking and all campaigns are or should be in full swing at this point. The absentee ballots in Yellowstone County will be going out in the mail on Friday, October 12th. Bret Rutherford, Yellowstone County Election Administrator, stated that they receive back about 1/3 of the absentee ballots within 7-10 days. As Yellowstone County residents usually have a pretty high turnout, this year will mark yet another reason to fill out your ballots. With that being said, the following are the responses the Yellowstone County News received from candidates in the general election. All ballots are due in the Yellowstone County Elections Department on or by Election Day which is Tuesday, November 6th. We asked the candidates to answer the following questionnaire regarding local hot topic issues in the area and help us, the readers, decide in voting. You can read their responses in this special issue. Some candidates decided to be short as others decided to add detail. We hope this special edition gives some insight into the candidates who are running in this area.
