LC 2937 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Elect supreme court by districts

This bill would change how Montana's Supreme Court justices are selected by requiring them to be elected from specific geographic districts rather than statewide. It creates seven districts based on county lines and mandates that each district elect one justice, while also establishing a transition plan for current justices to run in their assigned districts during their next election. The legislation amends existing state laws to implement these changes and requires the legislature to review district boundaries every ten years to maintain roughly equal populations.
