Changing the date of the primary election to the third Tuesday in May

This bill would change the date for Montana's primary elections from the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June to the third Tuesday in May. The change directly affects all voters and candidates participating in statewide primary elections held in even-numbered years. The legislation amends state law to establish this new date while keeping the existing schedule for odd-numbered year primaries unchanged. Additionally, the bill requires the secretary of state to send a copy of the act to federally recognized tribal governments in Montana.
