This bill amends Section 20-20-109 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to revise the qualifications for election judges in school district elections. The primary change allows qualified registered electors from the county where the election is being held to serve as election judges, in addition to the existing requirement that judges must be qualified registered electors of the school district in which they serve. Specifically, the bill introduces a new provision stating that if a county election administrator agrees to conduct an election, election judges must be qualified registered electors in that county.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing restrictions on who can serve as an election judge, prohibiting candidates and their close relatives from serving in this capacity. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
