LC 310 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise election laws related to ballot form and uniformity

This bill updates Montana election laws to standardize ballot forms and ensure uniformity across all ballots used in the state. It requires the secretary of state to establish statewide rules covering ballot design, including how ballots are corrected, write-in candidate provisions, stub details, and the arrangement of voting system ballots. The legislation also mandates that all candidate names appear in the same font size and style, and ensures that detached ballots cannot be distinguished from one another for the same office. Additionally, it clarifies that each voter must receive one ballot of each type they are eligible for, with "official ballot" markings printed in a way that prevents the mark from appearing on the detachable stub.
