Sent the following: Missoula County supports HB 447 - Authorize cancellation of local uncontested general elections by municipalities, which will be considered for executive action tomorrow morning in House State Administration. Mailing ballots for elections in which there are no contested races is an unnecessary and high cost to taxpayers. Voters often express their frustrations receiving an uncontested ballot. HB 447 would not preclude write-in candidates from being placed on the ballot. If a write-in candidate files, the race will be considered contested and will not be cancelled under HB 447. Please support HB 447.
