Description

Petition Instructions

Montana Petition Instructions are the guidelines for individuals in the state of Montana who wish to start a voter-initiated petition process. The instructions provide individuals with a step-by-step guide on how to obtain the necessary signatures, file the petition, and have the petition approved by the Montana Secretary of State. There are two types of Montana Petition Instructions: the Citizen's Initiative and the Referendum. The Citizen's Initiative is a petition process for the people of Montana to propose a new law. It is initiated by a group of citizens who draft the proposed law, collect signatures, and submit the petition to the Secretary of State. The Referendum allows citizens to repeal or amend an existing law. It is initiated by the legislature or the governor, and the citizens are asked to vote on whether to accept or reject the proposed legislation. The Montana Petition Instructions provide the specifics on how to begin the petition process, including the number of signatures required and the deadlines for filing the petitions. The instructions also explain the rules and regulations that apply to both the Citizen's Initiative and the Referendum. Additionally, they provide information on how to file the petition with the Montana Secretary of State, as well as how to keep the petition moving through the legislative process.
