Voting for Great Falls Mayor, 2 City Council Seats, and Fireworks on the Ballot. While GFEA has not taken any official position on any of these races and ballot initiatives we do encourage everyone to exercise their right to vote and ensure their voices are heard. Remember mail in ballots must be received by November 4th, so if you are unable to get them in the mail by November 1st, it is probably best to drop off your ballot at the elections office on 2nd Ave N.
