Montana Bill on Presidential Primary Ballot Access

Currently, Montana requires presidential primary candidates to submit a petition of 500 signatures. Any registered voter may sign. Representative Bryce Bennett (D-Missoula) has introduced HB 288. It would permit candidates to avoid the petition if they pay a filing fee equal to 1% of the annual salary of a U.S. Senator, which is currently approximately $1,800.
