Montana HB187 revises election laws by removing the continuous tabulation requirement for votes.

Montana HB187 revises election laws by removing the continuous tabulation requirement for votes. The bill amends Section 13-15-101, MCA, to allow for delays during the counting of votes and prioritizes reporting results through the state's election night reporting system. It also specifies that if the election includes at least one statewide race or statewide ballot issue, the election administrator must first provide results to the secretary of state's election night reporting system. The changes are effective upon passage and approval.
