The Secretary of State's Office was recognized for the Candidate Filing service. The service allows candidates to file online as a candidate for a qualified political party, or as a candidate for a non-partisan office. A current list of individuals who have declared candidacy is also provided. Candidate Filing won in the Government-to-Citizen Category. A demo of the service is available at: https://app.mt.gov/filing.
Montana Highway Patrol troopers use the Roadside Citation ePayment service to accept payments for fines immediately using credit/debit cards. This is convenient for both the troopers and the offenders and is more secure and less risky than the previous method of accepting cash or checks. The citation payment service was recognized in the Government-to-Government Category.
"Both the Secretary of State's Office and the Department of Justice are leaders in developing online services for the citizens of Montana," said Dick Clark, state chief information officer. "These services are two more examples of using information technology to improve government efficiencies."
Both award-winning services were developed in partnership with Helena-based Montana Interactive, who is a key developer and provider of the state's eGovernment services that are available through the official Montana "Online Services" Web site (www.mt.gov) and is a wholly owned subsidiary of eGovernment firm NIC.
