In Montana, there are currently three active proposals for constitutional amendments that would require state judicial elections to remain nonpartisan.

The western U.S. House district race is likely to be the state’s most competitive federal race of 2026. Cleveland in town hall meetings and Rains’s introductory literature tell voters that Tester prevailed in western Montana in his 2024 bid while losing the state as a whole by 43,000 votes.

Three lawsuits have been filed against the attorney general over ballot language rewrites to three issues that aim to keep judicial races in Montana nonpartisan, following on the heels of a legislative session where lawmakers brought several bills aimed at doing the opposite.

Things reached a fever pitch in recent weeks when several council members were arrested, tribal accounts were frozen, and the interim council approved a controversial special election that bans women from running.

The Great Falls Neighborhood Council #5 Candidate Forum will be on Monday, October 20, beginning at 7 p.m., at the Alliance For Youth auditorium (3220 11th Avenue South). Doors open at 6:40 p.m. The forum will also be broadcast live on the Neighborhood Council 5 Facebook page.

BILLINGS — A new Montana law requires the birth year to be listed on absentee ballots as part of the voting process. The law was sponsored by state Rep.
