LC 182 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise election laws regarding late registration

This bill expands late voter registration options for federal elections in Montana by allowing voters to register or update their information up until noon on election day, compared to the previous Friday or Saturday deadlines. It also permits late registrants to vote at designated polling locations on election day and establishes procedures for verifying late registrations in school elections. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of State to create uniform statewide rules for electronic registration and voting, ensuring covered voters can register and vote until polls close while maintaining ballot secrecy and integrity. These changes directly affect Montana voters who wish to register or update their information closer to election day and election administrators who must follow new verification and ballot return procedures.
