Revise county canvassing processes
This bill updates Montana's election laws to require county canvassing boards to compare the number of votes cast with the number of eligible voters and people who voted during the canvass process. It mandates that boards must investigate any discrepancies or errors in vote counts and allows them to request recounts or ballot inspections to resolve these issues. The legislation also clarifies the conditions under which recounts must be conducted for various election types, including when candidates or ballot measures are decided by narrow margins. These changes apply to all county, municipal, and state elections in Montana and take effect immediately upon passage.
