Unofficial
Unofficial results. These are the totals on the Montana Secretary of State’s election results site, stamped 11/12/2026 10:50:26 PM MT, unofficial and not certified. Counts can change in the canvass. “Leads” means ahead in the unofficial count, not a call.
As of , unofficial, per the Secretary of State’s election results site (electionresults.mt.gov): 128 Montana contests are loaded.

Unofficial results as of 11/12/2026 10:50:26 PM MT. Nothing is called.
- The 2026 numbers are unofficial and not certified. They are the Secretary of State’s results site as stamped 11/12/2026 10:50:26 PM MT, saved November 13. The feed also sets a winner flag; we ignore it and call nothing. Montana recounts are by petition, not automatic (MCA 13-16-201 and 13-16-211).
- Write-in votes are not on the site, so totals are votes for the candidates listed. County turnout exists on the site but is not loaded. County and local contests are not on this page.
- The U.S. Senate seat on the 2026 ballot has an independent candidate in second place and the Democrat third. The margin cell is Republican minus Democratic, as on every desk, so read it with the note on the row. The seat is compared on the county map with the 2024 U.S. Senate race (the same office, from a secondary source), the 2024 presidential race and the 2022 U.S. House vote added up across both districts. Montana had no U.S. Senate race in 2022.
- The 2022 figures come from the Secretary of State’s results archive service after the 2022 canvass; they were not matched line by line to the state canvass report. The 2024 numbers are from the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, a secondary source that we have not checked against the state canvass: the archive has no 2024 election and the canvass PDFs on sosmt.gov refuse automated readers.
- The Supreme Court seat (nonpartisan), the two Public Service Commission districts, the district court contests and the ballot measures CI-132, CI-133 and I-194 are saved but not drawn here, because the county map shows a Republican minus Democratic margin. The site shows “727 of 728 precincts” on the Supreme Court and ballot-measure pages, so those contests are not flagged fully reported.
- Unofficial results as of 11/12/2026 10:50:26 PM MT, not certified. “Leads” means ahead in the unofficial count, not a call. Write-in votes are not on the site.
- Pondera County lies in both U.S. House districts: each district’s total counts only the part of the county inside it, and the county’s precinct counts are not split between the districts.
- The 2024 numbers are from the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, a secondary source that we have not checked against the state canvass (the results archive has no 2024 election). The 2022 State Senate and State House seats were run on the 2014 to 2022 district lines and read “Redrawn”.
The state page lists results from approved rows drawn from state results feeds and Wikipedia; those are not the counts on this desk, which shows the Montana Secretary of State’s unofficial results site as stamped 11/12/2026 10:50:26 PM MT, not certified. See the state page.
13 of 128 contests.
Redrawn: Montana’s two U.S. House districts have the same lines in 2022 and 2026. The 2022 State Senate and State House seats were run on older lines and read “Redrawn”.

- 2022 and 2024: the Secretary of State’s results archive service for the 2022 general election, read after the 2022 canvass and not matched line by line to the state canvass report, and the MIT Election Data and Science Lab precinct returns for 2024 (a secondary source, not checked against the state canvass), read from the results archive service’s county files for the U.S. House, State Senate and State House (the checksum is the U.S. House file), taken from each district’s county rows as the service lists them. 2022 (checksum 4e8e814c8ba4) 2024 (checksum bdd07192021d)
- District maps: There are no district outlines for Montana on this site yet, so the seats board has no district map.
- Which seats appear: every seat on the 2026 ballot that the Secretary of State’s site lists: the U.S. Senate seat, both U.S. House districts, 25 State Senate seats and all 100 State House seats, including unopposed ones. A seat with one candidate reads Unopposed. Vote totals leave out write-in votes, which are not on the site. There is no governor or other statewide executive office on the 2026 ballot. The Supreme Court seat, Public Service Commission districts, district court contests, ballot measures and local contests are not shown.
- Margin: Republican votes minus Democratic votes, as points of all votes in the seat. A seat with one candidate shows “Unopposed”. Shift: this year’s margin minus the margin in the year you compare with. Leads change: the leading party in the unofficial count differs from the latest earlier contest for the same seat (2024 if it was on the ballot, otherwise 2022). It describes the count so far; nothing is called.
- District lines: Montana has two U.S. House districts (the 2022 to 2030 plan), 50 State Senate districts with staggered terms (25 are on the 2026 ballot) and 100 State House districts. The legislative plan adopted after the 2020 census was first used in 2024 and we found no replacement for 2026, so a 2026 district matches 2024 (a secondary source, the MIT Election Data and Science Lab), and the 2022 seats were run on the 2014 to 2022 lines, so those cells read “Redrawn”.
