Require candidates for office to disclose foreign citizenship
This bill requires political candidates in Montana to disclose their citizenship status and any additional countries of citizenship or membership in federally recognized Indian tribes when filing nomination papers. The new requirement applies to candidates running for partisan offices and must be included in the declaration for nomination form submitted to the secretary of state or election administrator. The disclosed information will be posted online by the secretary of state in a publicly accessible location, allowing voters to review citizenship details before casting their ballots. This change amends existing Montana Code Annotated sections related to candidate declarations and nomination procedures.
