Revise election laws related to voter cancellation
This bill updates Montana's election laws to clarify the specific circumstances under which a voter's registration can be cancelled. It directly affects election administrators, county officials, and registered voters by establishing eight clear reasons for cancellation, including voter request, death, mental incapacity, felony incarceration, registration in another jurisdiction, failure to respond to confirmation mailings combined with not voting in two consecutive federal general elections, and failure to meet basic voter qualifications. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage and approval, streamlining the process for removing ineligible voters from the rolls while maintaining existing protections.
