Revise electioneering laws
This bill updates Montana electioneering laws to prohibit campaigning activities within 100 feet of polling places and lines of voters waiting to vote on election day. It directly affects candidates, campaign workers, volunteers, and any individuals attempting to influence voters near polling locations. Key provisions ban the distribution of items of value to voters, prohibit wearing campaign badges or insignia near polls, and forbid soliciting information about how voters have or intend to vote. The law also requires the secretary of state to send a copy of the act to federally recognized tribal governments and takes effect immediately upon approval.
