==Government and politics== Gallatin County has traditionally favored Republican presidential candidates, often by large margins. Recent changes to Gallatin County's demographics (including migration from Democratic-leaning areas,<ref>{{Cite news |last=Cohen |first=Micah |date=June 21, 2012 |title=Presidential Geography: Montana |url=https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/presidential-geography-montana/ |access-date=April 2, 2018 |work=FiveThirtyEight |language=en-US}}</ref> and younger voters adopting more liberal political positions)<ref>{{Cite news |date=March 20, 2017 |title=A wider partisan and ideological gap between younger, older generations |url=http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/03/20/a-wider-partisan-and-ideological-gap-between-younger-older-generations/ |access-date=April 2, 2018 |work=Pew Research Center |language=en-US}}</ref> have made the County more competitive. Gallatin County is home to the flagship campus of [[Montana State University]], which contributes to its Democratic lean.

Democrat [[Kamala Harris]] won the county in 2024. {{PresHead|place=Gallatin County, Montana|source=<ref>{{Cite web |last=Leip |first=David |title=Atlas of US Presidential Elections |url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS |access-date=April 2, 2018 |website=uselectionatlas.org}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Democratic|32,695|34,938|2,684|Montana}} {{PresRow|2020|Democratic|31,696|37,044|2,767|Montana}} {{PresRow|2016|Democratic|23,802|24,246|5,771|Montana}} {{PresRow|2012|Republican|24,358|21,961|1,589|Montana}} {{PresRow|2008|Democratic|22,578|24,205|1,489|Montana}} {{PresRow|2004|Republican|22,392|16,405|1,045|Montana}} {{PresRow|2000|Republican|18,833|10,009|3,198|Montana}} {{PresRow|1996|Republican|14,559|10,972|3,547|Montana}} {{PresRow|1992|Republican|11,109|9,535|8,135|Montana}} {{PresRow|1988|Republican|13,214|9,527|464|Montana}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|15,643|8,163|334|Montana}} {{PresRow|1980|Republican|12,738|5,747|3,241|Montana}} {{PresRow|1976|Republican|11,062|6,215|183|Montana}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|10,663|5,096|329|Montana}} {{PresRow|1968|Republican|7,433|3,818|727|Montana}} {{PresRow|1964|Republican|5,621|5,600|27|Montana}} {{PresRow|1960|Republican|6,870|3,761|21|Montana}} {{PresRow|1956|Republican|6,680|3,260|0|Montana}} {{PresRow|1952|Republican|6,998|2,697|34|Montana}} {{PresRow|1948|Republican|4,220|3,548|182|Montana}} {{PresRow|1944|Democratic|3,120|3,479|33|Montana}} {{PresRow|1940|Democratic|3,430|4,718|50|Montana}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|2,151|4,697|320|Montana}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|2,553|4,359|183|Montana}} {{PresRow|1928|Republican|3,861|2,423|34|Montana}} {{PresRow|1924|Republican|2,494|1,564|1,565|Montana}} {{PresRow|1920|Republican|3,238|2,370|312|Montana}} {{PresRow|1916|Democratic|2,527|3,661|118|Montana}} {{PresRow|1912|Democratic|683|1,407|1,151|Montana}} {{PresRow|1908|Republican|1,519|1,485|215|Montana}} {{PresRow|1904|Republican|1,700|1,130|218|Montana}} {{PresRow|1900|Democratic|1,146|1,297|74|Montana}} {{PresRow|1896|Democratic|423|1,649|36|Montana}} {{PresFoot|1892|Democratic|998|1,144|162|Montana}}
