ELECTION INFORMATION
The 2020 Custer County Primary Election will be held on Tuesday June 30, 2020. All elections will be mail ballot elections. This means that everyone who is an active voter will automatically receive their ballot in the mail. Ballots cannot be forwarded, so if you plan on being out of town during the election, make sure that we have a mailing address so that we can send your ballot to you.
If you do not wish to vote using your mail ballot, you may surrender that ballot to the Clerk’s Office and vote on the voting machine.
