Sweet Grass County announced on April 15 that a public test of the voting systems for the 2026 School Election will be held on April 20 at the Sweet Grass County Annex during office hours from 8 am to 5 pm. The test will use the ExpressVote machine, which allows people with physical or visual disabilities to print their ballot. There will be no counting machines in use, as all ballots for this election will be counted by hand.

The county invites members of the public to observe the testing process and encourages anyone with questions to contact the Election Administrator at 932-5152. This notice aims to ensure transparency and accessibility in local elections.

Sweet Grass County advances community impact through its elected officials and departmental programs, according to the official website. The county delivers essential public services through nine elected officials and eight departments focused on serving residents, as reported by its official website.

The county operates under a Board of County Commissioners with three elected members who direct policy and administration, according to its official website. Law enforcement services are provided throughout Sweet Grass County via its Sheriff’s Office, which also includes reserves for additional support, according to information from the official website.

As a governmental entity providing key public services and law enforcement under local governance structures, Sweet Grass County maintains efforts like these voting system tests as part of its ongoing commitment to community engagement.
