This bill amends Section 20-20-109 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to revise the qualifications for election judges in school district elections. The primary change allows qualified registered electors from the county where the election is being held to serve as election judges, rather than restricting this role to electors from the specific school district. This is outlined in the new subsection (1)(b), which states that if a county election administrator agrees to conduct an election, election judges must be qualified registered electors in that county.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing restrictions on who can serve as an election judge, including prohibitions against candidates and their close relatives. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, streamlining the process for appointing election judges and potentially increasing the pool of available judges for school district elections.
