SB226

Montana SB226 mandates that petition submittals must be delivered to the county election administrator within four weeks of the first collected.

Montana SB226 revises the certification of petition signatures by adding a filing timeline. It requires an affidavit to be attached to each sheet or section submitted to the signature gatherer or an agent of the group gathering signatures. The affidavit and the signature sheet or section must be submitted to the county election administrator within four weeks of the first collected signature. If not submitted within this timeframe, the county election administrator shall reject the filing and may not process it further. This act is effective upon passage and approval.
