Montana officials to gain longer terms and lighter ballots
The Montana Taxpayers' Association predicts the 1940 elections will be cheaper as county officials elected in 1938 serve four years. Shorter ballots will cut counting time and clerks needed, with nearly 3,000 names removed from ballots since 1936. Costs for 1938-39 elections show savings over 1932 and 1936, due to law changes and precinct consolidations.
