On Tuesday morning, the Lewis and Clark County Commission will consider the first reading of an ordinance that would let voters decide whether to make the county's elections nonpartisan.
Montana lawmakers passed House Bill 129 in this year’s legislative session, which allows Montana counties to ask voters if they would like to change the types of election held for county officials from partisan to nonpartisan.
Commissioners will decide Tuesday if they want to add this question for Lewis and Clark County voters on the Nov. 5 ballot. If passed, the ordinance will have a second reading at the commission meeting on July 2.
