HB527

Montana HB527 revises the process for written plans of conduct for mail elections.

Montana HB527 amends the process for written plans of conduct for mail elections. It requires the election administrator to prepare a written plan for each mail election, including a timetable, a plan for providing voter interface devices, and sample written instructions. The plan must be posted on the county election office website at least 60 days prior to the election. The secretary of state must approve the plan within five days of receiving it. If the plan is not posted at least 60 days prior to the election, the election defaults to a polling place election.
