EBS STAFF
BIG SKY – Although election results are officially unofficial, many local, state and federal primary races in Montana were decided by relatively large margins—a somewhat unsurprising outcome given the number of incumbents running in state and local elections.
Voter turnout for the 2016 primary election is an estimated 44.7 percent, which is just shy of the 2008 primary election turnout of 45.2 percent during the last open presidential election, according to a press release received by EBS from Secretary of State and Chief Elections Officer Linda McCulloch.
According to the release, all counties have reported their totals, but election results remain unofficial until after the county and state canvasses are complete. Provisional ballot totals will be available early next week.
While unofficial results indicate that a state recount is unlikely, according to McCulloch’s release, it’s possible there may be recounts in local races. If a race falls below the one-half of 1 percent margin of difference, the defeated candidate may request a recount by petitioning the applicable filing officer.
Despite a close race for the Madison County Commission District 1 seat, it does not appear that any Gallatin or Madison county races will fall within that margin.
Here are the results of select local, state and federal primaries as of EBS press time at 5 p.m. on June 8:
Gallatin County: County Commissioner, District 2
D-Brian Leland: 70%
D-Storm Shirley: 29%

Event Details
My Barking Dog is a nightmare comedy that tells the story of Toby and Melinda, two lonely people whose lives are forever changed the night they encounter a starving coyote at their apartment building. Over time they grow to expect him, leaving ritual offerings to entice the coyote every night. Toby and Melinda forge a connection over this visitor and share curiosity and concern about his presence in the city. The coyote expands their world–until, one night, their world is shattered. Their lives are pushed suddenly into uncharted territory, sending them on a surreal odyssey that changes their city–and the world–forever.
Directed by LX Miller. Starring Max Schneider and Denise Hergett
