The board approved a contract with Missoula County Elections Administration to run a contested board-seat election if one is required. A board member summarized the county's role: "They mail out all of our ballots and then count everything and then give us the results," and the business manager confirmed the county runs the election on the district's behalf under contract.
Board members asked whether the district would serve as a polling place; staff clarified the contract is for election administration services (ballot mailing and counting) rather than hosting polling logistics. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
