LC 3542 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise irrigation district commissioner election laws

This bill proposes changes to how irrigation district commissioners are elected in Montana, requiring candidates to live within the district they seek to represent. The key provision mandates that commissioners must reside in and be eligible to vote in the specific district division where they are running for office. Additionally, the bill clarifies that voting is limited to landowners within the specific district division for which each candidate is competing. These amendments aim to strengthen local representation by ensuring commissioners have a direct stake in the communities they serve. The changes would take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
