This bill revises the qualifications for election judges specifically for school district elections in Montana. It amends Section 20-20-109 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to allow qualified registered electors from the county where the election is being held to serve as election judges, rather than being restricted to electors from the school district itself. The new language specifies that if a county election administrator agrees to conduct an election, the judges must be qualified registered electors in that county.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing restrictions on who can serve as an election judge, prohibiting candidates and their close relatives from serving in this capacity. The bill also emphasizes that school election judges must meet the training and certification requirements outlined in another section of the MCA. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
