Revise election laws related to preparation procedures for primary elections
This bill updates Montana election laws to clarify how election judges must prepare for counting votes during primary elections. It requires judges to separate ballots by political party, count each party's ballots separately, reconcile ballot totals with voter numbers, and bundle voted ballots by party for return to election administrators. The changes apply to all primary elections in Montana and take effect immediately upon passage.
