House Bill No. introduced by L. Schubert proposes to change the date for holding primary elections in Montana. The bill amends Section 13-1-107 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to move the primary election date from the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June to the third Tuesday in May for general elections held in even-numbered years. Additionally, it maintains the schedule for primary elections in odd-numbered years, which will still occur on the Tuesday following the second Monday in September.

Furthermore, the bill includes a new section that mandates the Secretary of State to send a copy of the act to each federally recognized tribal government in Montana, ensuring that tribal governments are informed of the changes to the election schedule. This legislative change aims to streamline the election process and enhance communication with tribal entities.
