Revise election laws to require certain local elections to take place in even-numbered years

This bill changes Montana election law to require municipal elections to be held in even-numbered years instead of odd-numbered years. It directly affects local government officials and voters in municipalities across the state by shifting when these local elections occur. The bill includes a transition plan for current municipal officers, requiring special one-year elections in 2025 and 2026 for those whose terms end in 2026, 2028, or 2030. Once fully implemented, all municipal elections will align with the state's general election schedule in even-numbered years, while odd-numbered years will only include other elections required by law.
