Red Quill Media is hosting a public Election Night watch party on Tuesday, November 3, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Helena Downtown ballroom. Admission is free and the event is open to all ages.

Lewis and Clark County candidates are expected to be on hand for interviews as results come in. The evening will also be livestreamed, giving those who can't make it to the ballroom a way to follow along. Food will be provided by Teriyaki Madness, and there will be a cash bar for guests 21 and over with valid ID.

The DoubleTree, located on Last Chance Gulch, is a familiar venue for Helena civic events. With local and statewide races on the 2026 ballot, the watch party is positioned as a community gathering point for following returns in real time. No registration was listed as required for entry.
