HB724 proposes changing the primary election date in Montana to the third Tuesday in May.

HB724 amends the Montana Code Annotated to change the date of primary elections. Currently, primary elections are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June in even-numbered years and on the Tuesday following the second Monday in September in odd-numbered years. The bill proposes shifting these dates to the third Tuesday in May. The secretary of state would also be required to notify federally recognized tribal governments of this change.
