Montana HJ48 calls for an interim study on moving the date of the state's primary election.

Montana HJ48 requests the Legislative Council to designate a committee to study moving the date of Montana's primary election. The study will examine existing dates, deadlines, and procedures in Montana law that would need to be adjusted, assess potential conflicts with the decennial districting and apportionment processes, evaluate the impact on election administrators and voters, and identify possible benefits, drawbacks, and tradeoffs for Montana voters.
