The bill amends Section 13-2-402 of the Montana Code Annotated, which outlines the reasons for the cancellation of an elector's registration. Key changes include the removal of the requirement for a newspaper obituary when reporting an elector's death, allowing for an obituary from any source. The bill retains other existing reasons for cancellation, such as written requests, court orders, and failure to respond to confirmation mailings, among others.

Additionally, the bill establishes an immediate effective date upon passage and approval. This means that the changes to the election laws regarding registration cancellation will take effect as soon as the bill is enacted.
