Montana 2026 election guide pairs races with past results

An NBC News election guide groups Montana’s 2026 races with the state’s historical presidential election results.

Montana 2026 election guide pairs races with past results

Key takeaways

  • The guide focuses on Montana’s 2026 election cycle.
  • Historical presidential results concern completed elections.
  • No specific race or candidate is named.
  • No candidate policy positions are identified.

Montana’s 2026 election guide

The title identifies two areas of focus: current key races and records from earlier presidential elections. It does not identify a specific 2026 contest, election date or candidate.

Current races and past results

The two categories answer different voter questions. A 2026 race concerns a current contest, while historical presidential results describe completed elections from earlier years. Past results are records, not polls, endorsements, candidate positions or forecasts about a future contest.

No candidate is attached to the item, so there are no documented policy positions to compare and no basis for a candidate-by-candidate assessment. The phrase “key races” also does not name which Montana offices or contests are included.

Details needed for comparison

A specific race must be identified by office and election before voters can compare candidates. Candidate information must be tied to a named contest, while a historical result must be tied to a particular presidential election year.

Without those links, the guide serves as a broad entry point for Montana’s 2026 elections and presidential voting history. It does not set out a ballot lineup, connect candidates to races or report a result from the 2026 cycle.

What to watch

  • Links to specific Montana contests
  • Candidate names tied to each race
  • Election years attached to historical results
