Montana League of Women Voters presents seminar about proposed constitutional amendments
The Montana League of Women Voters and Lewis & Clark Library are co-sponsoring “Do You Know What You’re Voting For?” to learn about three significant proposed amendments to the Montana Constitution.
The seminar will tease out the implications of Constitutional Initiatives 126, 127, and 128. One is about protecting abortion and the others are about how people get elected.
CI-126 would create an open primary system in Montana, allowing voters to choose any candidate on the primary ballot regardless of the candidate’s party affiliation. All candidates would appear on one ballot in June rather than separate party ballots, with the top four candidates for each office going on to the general election in November.
CI-127 would require that the winner of the general election receive a majority of the votes – more than 50 percent. While proponents say these changes will temper political extremism, opponents say it will weaken the role of traditional political parties.
