Require ballot issue signers to be active registered voters

This bill requires that individuals who sign petitions for ballot measures in Montana must be active registered voters, rather than allowing any qualified elector to sign. The legislation amends existing state law to specify that only active electors, as defined by Montana code, may gather signatures for ballot initiatives. Additionally, the bill prohibits payment to anyone based on the number of signatures they collect for a petition. These changes take effect immediately upon the bill's passage and approval by the legislature.
