[edit]- CI-132 would amend the Montana Constitution to require that judicial elections remain nonpartisan.[5]
- CI-133 would amend the constitution to protect initiatives and referendums from unjustified interference by the government. Specifically, this act requires impartial, predictable, open, and timely processes for ballot issues, including approving petitions and ballot statements, resolving legal challenges, and verifying signatures. It requires the state to allow ample time for signature gathering, prohibits disqualification of petitions because of minor or technical issues, and allows voters to withdraw their signatures if they so choose.[5]
- I-194 would limit the powers of artificial persons to those powers necessary or convenient as provided by law. These powers must exclude contributing anything of value to candidate elections, supporting or opposing political parties, or supporting or opposing state or local ballot issues.[5]
