Youth Soccer Championship Brings $5 Million Impact Back to Montgomery County in 2025

345 Montgomery County Ballots Flagged; Voters Urged to Review for Corrections

Montgomery County identified 353 deficient mail-in ballots, primarily due to minor errors like missing secrecy envelopes. Voters with such errors will be contacted and can submit a replacement request by early November or vote provisionally on Election Day. Officials addressed security concerns regarding publicly posted voter details and reassured residents that county staff would not conduct home visits. With election-related misinformation circulating, the county launched informational resources to help voters navigate the process. Visit their website HERE for more information.
