CLICK LINK ABOVE FOR QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Employees can find out about voter registration to include printing a voter registration form at the following link: http://www.co.cascade.mt.us/?p=departament&ido=96 Employees can also check on this site to see if they are currently registered or not. They will need their first name, last name and birth date to do so.
Please note that many people think that they will be called to jury duty if they register to vote. Jury pools are no longer selected by using voter lists. If you would like to request voter registration cards for some of your staff, contact kim_fadrhonc@gfps.k12.mt.us and she will send some to you through the school mail.
