HB167

Montana HB167 revises election laws by removing the requirement to post absentee lists at polling locations.

Montana HB167 amends election laws by eliminating the need to post absentee voter lists at polling places. It updates Section 13-13-233 of the Montana Code Annotated to require the chief election judge to post a list of electors' names instead. The bill also mandates that election administrators keep records of all absentee ballots issued and provide a certificate with ballot numbers when delivering voted absentee ballots. This act takes immediate effect with ballot number 1 and subsequent ballots.
