Constitutional Revision Question To Be Voted on This November
Montana voters will decide whether to call a constitutional convention next Nov 3. The measure asks if the 1889 Montana Constitution should be revised or amended and includes a 19-year-old voting right amendment. The Montana Constitution Revision Commission cites 12 critique points and notes various civic groups urging changes while opponents warn against a full revision and potential special-interest influence. The convention would be elected from House districts based on post 1970 census apportionment.
