Montana HB821 proposes to amend the state constitution to increase the number of electors needed to approve a constitutional amendment by initiative.
Montana HB821 seeks to amend Article XIV, section 9, of the Montana Constitution to raise the number of electors required to approve a constitutional amendment made by initiative. Currently, the amendment requires signatures from at least ten percent of qualified electors, including ten percent from two-fifths of the legislative districts. If passed, the amendment would require a majority of three-fifths of the electors voting on it to be approved. This bill, if enacted, would be submitted to the electorate in the 2026 general election.
