Revise times for holding primary elections
This bill changes Montana's primary election schedule by moving the June primary to May and adjusting the odd-year primary date to follow the second Monday in September. It requires primary election ballots to be counted before school election ballots when both occur on the same day and mandates that the secretary of state notify federally recognized tribal governments about the law. The changes directly affect voters, election officials, and tribal governments in Montana.
