Montana HB152 revises county attorney retention election laws, removing nonpartisan designations and write-in options if the incumbent is the only.

Montana HB152 modifies election laws concerning county attorney retention elections. If the incumbent is the sole candidate, the bill prohibits the inclusion of a nonpartisan designation or write-in space on the general election ballot. Instead, the ballot must ask voters if the incumbent should be retained in office. The bill also mandates that voters can indicate a "yes" or "no" vote, subject to rules adopted under Title 13.
