This joint resolution from the Montana Legislature calls for an interim study on voter list maintenance and integrity, emphasizing the importance of having accurate and up-to-date voter lists that only include qualified voters. The resolution outlines the need for a designated committee to investigate current practices in maintaining voter lists at both the county and state levels, as well as to research best practices from other states. It also aims to identify inconsistencies in Montana's voter list maintenance programs and explore how various state and national databases can be utilized to enhance the accuracy of these lists.

The study will involve input from key stakeholders, including election administrators and the Office of the Secretary of State, and is required to be completed by September 15, 2026. The final results, which will include findings and recommendations, must be reported to the 70th Legislature. This initiative reflects a commitment to ensuring election integrity through improved voter list management.
