Five incumbents, including the president and vice president, on the Fort Belknap Indian Community Council advanced to the tribe's general election.
President Julia Doney and vice president Raymond L. Chandler Sr. were the top vote-getters in the primary held on Tuesday. They will face William "Snuffy" Main and Charles "Jack" Plumage, both of whom have previously served as president.
Tribal voters also narrowed the field for eight council seats. The general election will be held November 1.
