CAMILLE BAKER, ROBERT YOON WASHINGTON — Montana voters will elect leaders for federal, state and other offices on Tuesday. Here are some of the key facts about the election and data points the AP Decision Team will monitor as the votes are tallied. Polls close at 8 p.m. local time, which is 10 p.m. ET.
美联社将提供美国参议院、美国众议院、全州性公投议题、州最高法院、州参议院、州众议院和公共服务委员会的投票结果，并宣布获胜者。在2024年总统选举中，蒙大拿州共投出约60.3万张选票。

蒙大拿州各县发布投票结果的方式各不相同。预计约有三分之一的县会在计票开始时发布全部或几乎所有结果，无论投票类型如何。几乎每个县都预计会在首份投票报告中至少发布部分邮寄选票或提前现场投票的结果。约有三分之一的县在计票开始时不会发布任何选举日现场投票结果，另有三分之一的县则会在整个计票过程中陆续发布。
Montana counties vary in how they release votes. About a third are expected to release all or almost all results at the start of the night, regardless of vote type. Almost every county is expected to release at least some mail or early in-person results in the first vote report. About a third do not release any in-person Election Day results at the start of the night, while another third releases them throughout the night.
随着投票结束，2024年选举的首批结果于美国东部时间11月5日晚10点开始上报。次日凌晨3点43分（美国东部时间），该州已统计50%的选票；上午11点16分（美国东部时间），已统计90%的选票。
The first results of the 2024 election were reported starting at 10 p.m. ET on Nov. 5, as polls closed. The state reached 50% of votes reporting at 3:43 a.m. ET the next morning, and 90% of votes reporting at 11:16 a.m.
蒙大拿州仅在全州选票打成平局时才要求自动重新计票。如果候选人得票差距小于总票数的0.5%，候选人可以申请重新计票，但只有当差距不超过0.25%时，才会使用公共资金支付费用。如果美联社能够判定领先优势过大，无法通过重新计票或法律挑战改变结果，则可能在需要重新计票的竞选中宣布获胜者。
ET. Montana requires an automatic recount only in the event of a tie vote. A candidate may request a recount if the margin is less than 0.5% of the total vote, but public funds will only pay for it if the margin is 0.25% or less. The AP may declare a winner in a race that is subject to a recount if it can determine the lead is too large for a recount or legal challenge to change the outcome.
