PCCJ 2025 Election Poll
Beginning Monday, October 20th, the Park County Community Journal is conducting a poll for the upcoming election on Tuesday, November 4th. The poll, hosted via Survey Monkey, will be used to gauge public opinion on candidates for Livingston City Commission, Livingston City Judge and Clyde Park Town Council, as well as the Shields Valley Elementary School District bond. The survey will expire on Tuesday, October 28th at noon. Results will be published online the following day and in print on Friday, October 31st.
The poll will be promoted primarily via social media and is accessible using the adjacent QR code. Participants are asked to supply optional demographic information used to contextualize results and are required to provide their place of residence (i.e., City of Livingston, Town of Clyde Park or Park County) to receive the appropriate survey form. The survey is brief, containing no more than two questions per participant (contingent on residence) and requiring just a few minutes or less to complete.
For the sake of integrity, we ask that participants please take the survey only once and if you intend on submitting a ballot or have already voted absentee. Our results will feature statistical figures, including error margins (standard protocol for political polling), and interpretations. Data are generalizable insofar as the sample size is sufficient to represent the population. So, please help us share the survey with friends, family and coworkers regardless of political affiliation and alignment with any particular candidate to both prevent skewing results and enhance the validity of our study.
Our overall goal is for this survey to predict, albeit not perfectly, and potentially affect the outcome of the election—spurring candidates to take action and influencing the electorate to vote—with no agenda but to provide some insight and advance democracy.
