Bill > HB892

This bill amends Montana's existing law on voting limits to prohibit double voting. The key provisions include: - Prohibiting any person who is not an elector (eligible voter) from voting. - Prohibiting an elector from voting more than once in any election held in Montana or voting in both Montana and another state or territory in the same or equivalent elections (with exceptions for special district elections). - Prohibiting a person or elector from purposefully remaining registered to vote in more than one place in Montana or another state, unless related to special district elections. - Imposing a fine of up to $5,000 and/or up to 18 months imprisonment for violating these provisions. - Defining "equivalent elections" as those with the same in-person voting date or primary elections that determine candidates for general elections with the same in-person voting date. - Appropriating $1,000 from the general fund to the Secretary of State for implementing the act.
