SB184

Provide that only contested precinct committee men/women need to be on the primary election ballot

Complete·4/17/25

Montana SB184 revises election laws to require only contested races for precinct committee representatives to appear on the primary ballot.

Montana SB184 amends election laws to specify that only contested races for precinct committee representatives need to be on the primary ballot. If a party does not hold an election for these positions, the election administrator will declare the candidate who filed for the position or who filed a declaration of intent to be a write-in candidate as elected by acclamation. The bill also outlines procedures for handling write-in votes and tie votes in precinct committee representative elections.
