Irrigation district commissioner candidates would need to live in their district

Commissioner candidates would need to live in the irrigation district and be eligible to vote there. These requirements would apply to people running for irrigation district commissioner in Montana. Candidates would file with the election administrator or deputy during the filing period set by state law. The proposal would have taken effect upon passage and approval, but it died without becoming law.

Voters would elect commissioners within the division where the candidate has land and seeks office. This provision would apply to Montana irrigation district commissioner elections. Only acres within that division could count toward votes for that candidate. This voting rule would have taken effect upon passage and approval, but the proposal did not become law.
