Montana House Advances Voting Age Bill to 18
The Montana House sent HB98 lowering the voting age to 18 from 19 to the Senate after a 74 to 23 vote.

A separate proposal would put a broad based sales tax referendum on the 1972 ballot, with party leaders signaling support and foresight to avoid tax impasse.
