HELENA, Montana – Montana legislators rejected a bill that would have made it easier for Native communities to vote. House Bill 613 would have required satellite election offices to be available on each Montana reservation at least 30 days before election day. That would have cut down on the travel time for tribal citizens to access voting services.
MEANWHILE…
HELENA — Lawmakers are working to tackle the issue of missing and murdered indigenous people in Montana. Lawmakers passed bills to expand operations of the MMIP Task Force, after there were concerns that budget cuts could potentially mean the end of the initiative.
