蒙大拿州参议员开放席位四人角逐：戴恩斯不再连任
11月3日，蒙大拿州选民前往投票，决定联邦参议员、联邦众议员、州最高法院法官、公共服务委员会委员、州议员以及三项全州提案的归属，大多数投票站从上午7时开放至晚8时，服务登记选民不足400人的小型投票站可较晚开放，但不得晚于中午12时。
联邦参议员选举为开放席位竞选，共和党现任参议员史蒂夫·戴恩斯不再谋求第三个任期，选票上的主要候选人包括共和党人库尔特·阿尔梅、民主党人阿拉尼·班克黑德、自由党人凯尔·奥斯汀和独立候选人塞思·博德纳。在罗斯福县，波普勒中学为第16和第18选区服务，布罗克顿学区办公室为第15选区服务，布罗克顿地区的信仰自由路德教会为第17选区服务。
罗斯福县委员会在8月18日的会议上取消了七个县级职位的竞争性选举，原因是每个职位均只有一名候选人参选。蒙大拿州选民还将就两项修宪提案和一项州法律提案投票，决定是否修改州宪法和选举法律。

Four Candidates Vie for Montana's Open Senate Seat as Daines Steps Aside
Montana voters went to the polls on November 3 to choose a U.S. senator, U.S. House members, state Supreme Court justices, Public Service Commission members, legislators and three statewide measures. Most polling places were open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.; smaller precincts serving fewer than 400 registered voters could open later but not after noon. The Senate seat was open because Republican Sen. Steve Daines is not seeking a third term; the main candidates on the ballot were Republican Kurt Alme, Democrat Alani Bankhead, Libertarian Kyle Austin and independent Seth Bodnar. In Roosevelt County, Poplar Middle School served Precincts 16 and 18, the Brockton School District Office served Precinct 15, and Faith Free Lutheran Church in the Brockton area served Precinct 17. The Roosevelt County Commission, at its August 18 meeting, canceled competitive elections for seven county offices because each had only one candidate. Montanans also voted on two constitutional amendments and one state-law measure that would change the state constitution and election law.
