TO-DO LIST

LIST To Do

As if moving all your possessions and family to your new home wasn’t hard enough,

it’s important to remember to make sure all the proper records, forms and other doo-dads are filled out. Getting acquainted with the different public services in and around town is also important to do. Here’s what you need to get done.

REGISTER TO VOTE —

Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a law in 2021 ending same-day voter registration, so make sure to get registered in advance of Election Day.

You can register with the local elections office in person or through the mail. Find more information on the Montana Secretary of State Website: sosmt.gov/elections/vote/

BOZEMAN CITY GOVERNMENT —

Bozeman has an active city government with a mayor, deputy mayor, and three city commissioners making up the Bozeman City Commission. The set-up is a little confusing - candidates who win the mayoral election first serve as deputy mayor for two years before rising to the mayoral spot. Mayor Cyndy Andrus is in office through 2023, after which Deputy Mayor Terry Cunningham will be sworn in as mayor. The other three commissioners currently in office are I-Ho Pomeroy, Christopher Coburn and Jennifer Madgic. The commission meets most Tuesday evenings at 6 p.m. Due to COVID-19 the meetings are currently being held virtually.
