Late-night voters in Bozeman transformed a cold election wait into an impromptu celebration. Students and locals joined forces making the best of snow-covered voting experience near courthouse

In Bozeman Montana (a well-known college-focused city) voters didnt let the snow-covered pathways stop them from casting their ballots at the local court-house. The after-hours voting line turned into something quite different than expected — a full-on street gathering.

The freezing-cold evening brought out the best in these determined voters who made their way through the snowy-covered line: sharing warm-blankets and creating a nice-spirited community. Local helpers showed up with all kinds of snacks:

  • Fresh-baked pizza slices
  • Crunchy potato chips
  • Mixed nuts and treats

The courthouse-area turned into an unexpected party spot — a street DJ started playing tunes while people waved bright glow-sticks around. Sarah Thompson‚ a local student said: “Its just like any other college get-together except were doing something important for our community“

The whole scene showed how this university town knows how to keep things fun even when dealing with serious stuff — the mix of civic duty and student-life spirit made the cold wait much easier to handle
