Montana Supreme Court allows signatures of inactive voters to count on ballot petitions
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Montana’s Supreme Court on Tuesday said it would allow the signatures of inactive voters to count on petitions seeking to qualify constitutional initiatives for the November ballot, including one to protect abortion rights. District Court Judge Mike Menahan ruled last Tuesday that Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen’s office wrongly changed election rules to reject inactive voter signatures from three ballot initiatives after the signatures had been turned in to counties and after some of the signatures had been verified. The change to longstanding practices included reprogramming the state’s election software. Jacobsen’s office last Thursday asked the Montana Supreme Court for an emergency order to block Menahan’s ruling that gave counties until this Wednesday to verify the signatures of inactive voters that had been rejected. Lawyers for organizations supporting the ballot initiatives and the Secretary of State’s Office agreed to the terms of the temporary restraining order blocking the secretary’s changes. Justices said Jacobsen’s office failed to meet the requirement for an emergency order, saying she had not persuaded them that Menahan was proceeding under a mistake of law.

Bozeman City Council adds First Responder Levy and Fire Station 4 Bond to Nov 2024 ballot
BOZEMAN, Mont. - The Bozeman City Council voted Tuesday to add the First Responder Levy and Fire Station 4 Bond to the November 2024 ballot. “We’re excited to see this issue be placed in the voter’s hands to decide,” Interim City Manager Chuck Winn said in a release from the City of Bozeman. “The fact is that we haven’t meaningfully added staff in these departments since the 2007 mill levy and we’re still operating with that same capacity even though Bozeman has nearly doubled in size. We also knew when we relocated Fire Station 2 we would need to fill the gap in service on the west side with a new fire station. These are important things for residents to know and weigh as they make their decision.”
