The bill revises the laws governing election administrators in Montana by amending Section 13-1-301 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA). It establishes that if the county governing body designates another official or appoints an election administrator, that individual is required to report directly to the county governing body. This change aims to enhance accountability and oversight of election administration at the county level.

Additionally, the bill provides for an immediate effective date upon passage and approval. The overall intent of the legislation is to ensure that designated election administrators maintain a direct line of communication with the county governing body, thereby improving the administration of elections and the management of elector registration processes.
