Constitutional Amendment to Protect Initiative and Referendum Process
Plain-English Summary
This ballot initiative seeks to amend the Montana Constitution to protect the people's right to initiative and referendum from undue burdens. It aims to establish an impartial, predictable, transparent, and expeditious process for ballot measures. The measure also proposes to restrict the use of government resources to support or oppose initiatives.
What each outcome does
If Ballot Initiative 8 passes, the Montana Constitution will be amended to safeguard the initiative and referendum process, establish clear timelines, and prevent government resources from being used to influence ballot measures.
If Ballot Initiative 8 fails, the current constitutional provisions regarding initiatives and referendums will remain unchanged, and the proposed protections and restrictions on government involvement will not be enacted.
