LC 3030 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise laws related to judicial transparency and elections

This bill allows judicial candidates in Montana to voluntarily indicate their political party affiliation on nomination declarations and have that information appear on election ballots. It also permits judicial candidates to publicly announce their party affiliations and any campaign endorsements they have received. The legislation updates ballot preparation rules to include party names on judicial election ballots and clarifies how party designations should be displayed next to candidate names. These changes apply specifically to judicial office elections and aim to provide voters with additional information about candidates' political connections.
