This bill proposes to change the date for holding primary elections in Montana by moving the primary election from the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June to the third Tuesday in May. The amendment specifically alters Section 13-1-107 of the Montana Code Annotated, replacing the previous date with the new date for primary elections in even-numbered years. The bill also maintains the schedule for primary elections in odd-numbered years, which will still occur on the Tuesday following the second Monday in September.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision requiring the Secretary of State to notify each federally recognized tribal government in Montana about the changes enacted by this legislation. This aims to ensure that tribal governments are informed and can participate in the electoral process effectively.
