HELENA — The Montana Secretary of State’s Office says it’s resolved an issue, after an overseas voter reported not all candidates appeared on an electronic ballot. A federal law says military members, their families and other eligible U.S. citizens living outside the country can vote through a special absentee ballot procedure, starting 45 days before the election. Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen’s office said in a statement that they took the system down after learning of the issue, worked with a vendor to troubleshoot the problem, then had it back online by Friday afternoon.
